IPOH: It’s three’s a crowd for the race to be the next Perak Mentri Besar as Umno and PAS leaders joined the newly resigned Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu, of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia, in throwing their hats into the ring.
Almost as soon as Faizal quit as Mentri Besar, Umno nominated its chairman Datuk Saarani Mohamad while PAS is believed to have nominated its state commissioner Razman Zakaria for the position to helm the state government.
In a statement, the Comptroller of the Royal Household Datuk Pengelola Bijaya Diraja Kol Datuk Abd Rahim Mohamad Nor said Sultan Nazrin will evaluate and consider the names that have been submitted.“The date for the swearing-in ceremony will be set later,” he said, adding that Sultan Nazrin has also accepted Faizal’s resignation as the Mentri Besar, which came into immediate effect.
Faizal had on Monday announced that Perikatan, which consists of Bersatu, Umno and PAS, would be forming the state government.Former state exco members Paul Yong Choo Kiong and Hasnul Zulkarnain Abd Munaim , together with Buntong assemblyman A. Sivasubramaniam , have also quit Pakatan to become Perikatan-friendly independents.Faizal also said he was proud to have a wise Sultan to make the best decision for the state.
At a separate press conference held later in the afternoon, Yong and Subramaniam fought back at being labelled as “frogs” and “traitors”. “They want to put their own Malay assemblyman as the Mentri Besar and there was also a plot to remove Yong as state executive council member and take his portfolio.
