(The Malaysian Insider) KUALA LUMPUR, May 11 – The prime minister said that Barisan Nasional (BN) will appeal the Kuala Lumpur High Court decision declaring Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin as the rightful mentri besar of Perak.

Datuk Seri Najib Razak said this evening that BN will file an appeal tomorrow.

“We are appealing against the decision. We hope for an early date for the appeal,” he told reporters after meeting Pemudah, the special taskforce established to simplify business dealings with the government. “We feel we have a strong case.”

The High Court had today also ordered Datuk Seri Zambry Abdul Kadir and his executive officers to vacate their offices, and the judge also rejected an appeal from Zambry for a stay of the declaration.

When asked by reporters if the state assembly should be dissolved and elections held, Najib replied that it was the Sultan of Perak’s decision to make.

He added that he has not made any arrangement to meet the Perak ruler.

However, Nizar is seeking an audience with the Perak Sultan to ask for consent to dissolve the state assembly.

When asked about moving a motion of no-confidence against Nizar instead of appealing the court decision, Najib replied that their first action will be to appeal.

Najib also asked Perakians to keep calm.

“Don’t get overexcited,” he said. “We will solve the problem.”

Several police Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) trucks have been observed pulling up at the Perak State Secretariat in Ipoh and state police chief Datuk Zulkefli Abdulah has warned the public not to gather near the secretariat complex to prevent any untoward incident.

Najis, what is the point of appealing when you have been frustrated in your inability to secure the 'stay of execution', for by then Nizar will be at the Istana seeking to dissolve Perak State Assembly; and definitely not under the provision of 16(6).

1} There you are! Da man has spoken!
2} Do you think the wayang is over yet?
3} Probably not by a long shot!
4} The new "Speaker" Datuk Ganesan (I used his title Datuk for a good reason) is so dumb, how could he convene the DUN when he is no longer legitimately the speaker? Pending an appeal and stay of execution of judgement, Nizar and the Pakatan ex-co remains the legit state govt, plus the Speaker is still Sivakumar.
5} But watch the rest of the wayang now.
6} Was told that HRH Raja Azlan is not around, somewhere overseas.
7} Will HRH Crown Prince Nazrin do the necessary tonight or at least at 6.00AM tomorrow? Dissolve the DUN?

We will see...the credits to this wayang is not on the screen yet...and the projector is still rolling...rolling ...rolling....

Btw, the Heroes in Blue are in full force tonight! Watch it, wear white not black because they may not see you in the darkness and "accidentally roll over you in their trucks and what-not.

Dear PM, with all respect to you, please don't mess up Perak again. Let the Sultan take his decision on dissolution and let there be an election. Good for you to rebuild confidence in the rakyat. If not, you will not be helping UMNO.

Appeal? When the high court pronounced that "the sky is not green in colour", would any right minded person, much less the PM of Malaysia, wants to appeal the verdict?

It is so so so dunggu, really. Who ever appeals, falls in the category of "kambing mentality"; the lawyers representing them are categorised as having "lembu mentality", bigger in size and shape but still in the herd grouping.

Hello Najis, enough is enough lah. You are not tired of all these shenanigans and abuse of power ke? The rakyat sure is. Don't make it worse for you and BN. Just lie down and take it like a man, Or is it you don't have the balls to let the rakyat decide because you were not elected as a PM by the rakyat in the first place?

Mr. Prime Minister,
By all means, appeal! It is allowed in law. However, what confounds me is your morbid paranoia. Why are you so adamant you have the support of the people but yet fearful of returning to seek a fresh and legitimate mandate? Is the UMNO/BN coalition only capable of winning through threats, force and trickery? Ifthat is the case can you not see the bankruptcy of UMNO/BN and its forfeiture of ay moral justification to rule.
Since your ascension to the premiership, you have not once demonstrated honesty and steadfastness in any of your decisions. You have even shockingly tried to avoid Penanti! Where does that leave you? It now seems even sleepy head Badawi makes better decisions than you half zzzzzzzz asleep!

Najis, Najis. Have you not learn anything at all about what the rakyat want in the last few months, esp since 507??? The high court has ruled. Malaysians have seen the extent to which you and UMNO/BN would stoop just to cling to power - and it is DISGUSTING and REVOLTING! Perakians don't want you/UMNO/BN, PERIOD!!! Still no comprendo? Then go ahead and appeal ...so that the whole of Msia will be totally disgusted with you and will totally reject you come GE13th! So go ahead, appeal and make our day!

ortly thereafter, at about 7.30 a.m., Abdul Razak Baginda received an SMS from Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and showed, this message to both myself and his lawyer. This message read as follows :-
“ I am seeing IGP at 11.00 a.m. today …… matter will be solved … be cool”.
And now this, what a concidence: “Don’t get overexcited,” he said. “We will solve the problem.”
Coming out from the mouth!

Was that what Najib meant by "we can cooperate with pakatan...". Meaning, he knew the judgement one or two days before hand!

Never mind..... Nizar should somehow convince the Regent for the dissolution of the state asembly, towards ending the crisis (legal suits and injunctions), repairing damage done and bring reputation to the state for a clean administration. It will not matter if the voters do not elect Pakatan but the people's wishes will be carried out. Everybody will know where the Political parties stand in the eyes of the nation. So be it!

The Bastards National Inc (BN) would have already by now arranged with the Kangaroo Courts for judgement overturned. While the dissolution and election talks are happening, the BN Morons can meet under a coconut tree in Pangkor (near the Zimbabwe Zombie Tulukkan's corruptedly obtained bungalow)and pass a resolution for Plan Z to be used, since all other failed.

Nizar should not be in a hurry to put the No-brain-Sargeant-At-Arms, Assembly Cler, State Secretary, Rogue Rookies to face the guillotine or firing squad, but ensure the dissolution, election procedures etc until the new government is decently set up, since the Court has recognised him as the MB. Everything else can wait. If the above uncivilised civil servants do not have buffalo hide for skin, they would have opted for early retirement or bolted off to either Johor or Sabah in shame.

Aiyohh.. Najib,
What is there to appeal some more?
Perakians knew your dirty tricks in buying over 3 PR ADUN.
They never accepted your Zambry as the new MB since day one.
Perakians are disgusted by the forceful removal of Sivakumar on 7 May.
They want the State Assembly dissolve,and a fresh election lah.
You and BN dare not face the voters in Perak.
10 of the present BN ADUNs won with less than 1000 votes.
Another 7 BN ADUNs won with less than 2000 votes.
If you and BN dont cheat ,intimidate the voters and manipulate in the next election,
BN would end up with 19 ADUNs or less and Pakatan Rakyat with 40 ADUNs or more.
Nizar is camping outside the palace to meet the Regent at 8.30am tomorrow.
He and Pakatan dare to face the voters for a new mandate.
You and BN is running scare,even in Penanti.
So,why ,(apa nama) Appeal?
Please face the (apa nama) Voters of Perak
