Are Umno politicians and lawyers illiterate? The state and federal constitutions clearly spell out the separation of powers between the executive, legislative and the judiciary.
The actions of the speaker are beyond the jurisdiction of the courts. Why then did Zambry file several applications to the court to overturn the speaker's decision?
The court should rightly refuse to entertain Zambry's applications as it has no power to do so.
Any interference by the courts will violate the constitution and create an even bigger constitutional crisis which strikes at the heart of our Westminister system of government.
Locking up the state secretariat building to prevent a meeting of the assembly from being held is a brazen interference of the executive into the legislature and typical of the thuggish behaviour of Umno.
The best solution to the Perak impasse is to dissolve the assembly and call fresh elections. Any party which dares not face elections has no right to call itself a legitimate government.
