IPOH: The new Perak state government may have been sworn in but it was business as usual for the former Pakatan Rakyat state government.
Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin, who has steadfastly refused to relinquish his post, chaired a special ‘exco’ meeting at the Mentri Besar official residence in Ipoh on Saturday.
Nizar said the special meeting, among others, approved the extension of land lease for industrial plots from the current 30 or 60 years to 99 years.
The ‘state government’, Nizar said, also approved the appointment of 342 councillors for the 15 local councils in the state.
The Sultan Azlan Shah Airport in Ipoh would also be revived with low-cost carrier Firefly flying into the airport from May 15, added Nizar.
“The state is paying RM2.7mil to Firefly as contribution to the carrier to fly into the airport,” he said, adding that the carrier would be flying to Singapore and Subang.
To a question, Nizar said there would be no problems in implementing the decisions passed during the special meeting.
“The state agencies have to concede to the government of the day and the question of them not implementing the decisions does not arise,” he said, adding that the minutes of Saturday’s would be sent to the respective departments for implementation.
On the swearing-in of Barisan Nasional exco on Tuesday, Nizar said Barisan should wait for a declaration by the High Court on the matter.
“If they go ahead and swear-in the exco, we will be the only government in the world with two mentri besars.
“I will still report for work on Tuesday as Tuesday is our meet the clients day,” he added.
01:10pm Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin, who has refused to step down as Perak Mentri Besar, held a special exco meeting at the mentri besar’s residence where they decided, among others, to bring budget airline Firefly’s service to Sultan Azlan Shah’s airport

12:40pm Zambry said Nizar could take his time to move out of the Mentri Besar’s residence.
12:10pm The nine people detained during the riots in Kuala Kangsar Friday have been remanded till Sunday said Perak CPO Deputy Comm Datuk Zulkifli Abdullah.

“We are also investigating blogs and SMSes that circulated false news of demonstrations and burning mosques,” he said.
He added that four FRU personnel were injured and two police vehicles damaged by stones and missiles hurled by the protestors on Friday.
