Perak Sultan Must Intervene and Call for Fresh Polls

06/03/09

By Param Cumaraswamy

The present crisis in Perak could have been averted if His Royal Highness Sultan Azlan Shah had dissolved the Legislative Assembly on February 5.

The present scenario in Perak is seen as a State without a legitimate government.

The casualty in such an environment primarily is the rakyat. If the situation is not carefully addressed and arrested quickly the rule of law in Perak will be in jeopardy and anarchy will be the order of the day.

Our Rulers are not absolute monarchs. They are in essence constitutional monarchs. Their decisions are not absolute. The implications of their decisions can be discussed and commented by the people and the media.
