Showdown in Perak: 'Police can't stop reps from attending sitting'

IPOH: Do not stop the state assemblymen from attending the emergency sitting today, state Speaker V. Sivakumar warned the police.

In a hastily-called press conference here last night, Sivakumar warned state police chief Datuk Zulkifli Abdullah not to block the convening of the state assembly, which he said had been "validly called".

"I want him to ensure that the police will not stop or block state assemblymen from attending the state assembly sitting. No interference. No obstruction," he said at the office of his legal adviser Chan Kok Keong.

Zulkifli had issued a press statement yesterday drawing attention to a declaration by the secretary of the state assembly that the emergency sitting was illegal.

He said the State Secretariat management had informed the police that there would be no state assembly sitting as announced earlier by the speaker.
He warned the public not to gather at or around the state secretariat building, adding that only those authorised by the State Secretariat would be allowed to enter the premises.
