Nizar gets ‘royal nod’ for by-elections

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 2 — The most talked about meeting in Malaysia today took all of 10 minutes.

Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Nizar Jamaluddin showed the Sultan of Perak undated letters from two PKR executive councillors Jamaluddin Mohd Radzi and Mohd Osman Mohd Jailu stating that they had resigned from their Behrang and Changkat Jering seats respectively.

Pas officials told The Malaysian Insider that Nizar left the meeting with the impression that based on the resignation letters calling by-elections would be the most palatable outcome to this political stalemate.

They added that there was no discussion between the MB and the Sultan about dissolving the state assembly.

“It was a very short meeting and the MB only wanted the Sultan to have sight of the two letters especially since there is so much disinformation now and seek his counsel,” a Pas official told The Malaysian Insider. [read more]
