Perak constitutional crisis will prolong
The ongoing constitutional crisis in Perak will prolong as long as the Umno-led rebel state government continue to rule the state in an unconstitutional way.
First, they launched a coup d'etat on February 2009 to toppled the legitimate Pakatan state government. Then, later they sealed off the entire state legislative assembly building in order to prevent the State Speaker from convening the sitting session which was supposed to be held.
A few months later, they ousted the legitimate State Speaker by bringing in a stranger and a non-state assemblyman to take over the speaker's office by force. Umno called in the security forces to assist them to oust the last Pakatan state assemblyman in public office.
A total of three coup d'etats were organized by Umno to ensure they got hold of the entire state administration with their iron fist. State civil servants were threatened if they do not switch their support, which left them with no other choice but to follow what the Umno leaders had instructed.
Umno had used the royal household and the courts to legalized their rebel state government and made a decree that any one who try to overturn a decision made by these two institutions will be labelled as traitors or "penderhaka".
Therefore, in order to resolve this already prolonged constitutional crisis, the state legislative assembly must be dissolved at all cost to pave way for a fresh state election. The mandate must be returned to the people and it is not Umno's right to decide.
