Perak drama: Court order on illegal assembly sitting delivered

IPOH, WED:

The lawyers representing Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir and six State Executive Councillors today handed over an injunction issued by the High Court yesterday refraining State Assembly Speaker V.Sivakumar from holding any illegal State Assembly sitting.

The court order was handed over to Sivakumar''s political secretary, A.Wasu, who represented the Speaker, at 4.15 pm at Sivakumar''s office by Farid Zul Azlan Abdul Shani, an aide to lawyer Faizul Hilmi Ahmad Zambri, who was also present.

Wasu said Sivakumar was not present to receive the court order as he was attending a meeting here.

"The Speaker will decide what action would be taken subsequently," he told reporters after receiving the court order.

Earlier, the lawyers representing Zambry and the six Executive Councillors, who had arrived at 3 pm, failed to hand over the document to Sivakumar as the Speaker''s office at the Bangunan Perak Darul Ridzuan was locked.
They later handed a copy of the court order to the State Legal Advisor''s office at the same building at 3.20 pm.

Meanwhile, Faizul Hilmi said he had received the injunction from the court dated yesterday at noon today.

"Sivakumar can appeal within 30 days of the date of the court order. However, so far there has been no appeal from him," he said.

When asked to comment on the submission in court yesterday, he said the State Assistant Legal Advisor, Zulqarnain Hassan, who represented the Speaker, had presented the case well.
