Perak turmoil: Battle moves to courtroom
- 9 years ago
Pakatan Rakyat will file a legal suit to challenge the appointment of Peraks new menteri besar Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir.
Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim said that a team of lawyers would be looking into the laws pertaining to the appointment.
"We are challenging his appointment today as we think it's invalid," he told a press conference at PKR headquarters in Tropicana Damansara this afternoon.
In a strongly-worded statement issued later, the leaders of the opposition alliance also condemned Barisan Nasional's 'uncouth' manner in seizing control of the state.
They also criticised the manner in which Pakatan Menteri Besar Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin was treated, including the confiscation of his belongings from the menteri besar's office.
