Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah said a large section of the public will be angry if the Perak Ruler does not dissolve the state assembly and invites BN to form the state government on the basis of dubious crossovers. Writing in his blog, the Gua Musang UMNO MP cautioned that taking control of Perak without getting the mandate of the people will spell disaster for BN in the next general election. "Our taking control without resorting to elections would cement the enmity of the very people we should be trying to win back.
"Come the next general election, they are going to reject both our state and parliamentary candidates with greater vehemence, and not just in Perak." (The Malaysian Insider, February 05, 2009).
A very valid point, I believe.
Lim Kit Siang, Ipoh Timur MP has reiterated, “Returning the mandate to the voters is the most honorable and democratic manner to resolve the political crisis in Perak”.
