Perak Pakatan Rakyat Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin is to have audience with the Sultan of Perak to seek the dissolution of the Perak State Assembly and to hold state election.
Returning to the voters of Perak to seek a clear-cut mandate for the government of the state is the most honourable and democratic manner to end the political crisis in the state.

tkk asked: “would it be possible that party hoppers resign their office and stand on a new ticket to get a fresh mandate from the people (if they do decide to switch side)? This will ensure that the rakyat are behind his/her intended switch or not. (regardless of the side they are from)”
I would like to know that myself

Dear Mhwang,
As goes the saying, what right for goose must be also right for gander. The point is that both BN and Pakatan Rakyat are involved in this so called “buying allegiance” from interested parties.
It is not ethical for Hee to switch allegiance. The same also goes to Nasaruddin.
As for Anwar , I hope he will learn the lesson now. The dagger now is pointing at him. He cant complain as he has been proclaiming to the world about Sept 16, 2008. He he got the bitter lesson from his greed and foolishness.
He cant lecture on switching allegiance as he is the one encouraging BN MPs to switch camp. So, now he must understand that there is implication on bad idea. He may have forgotten that switching can go both way .
As for BN, do remember what you did decades ago in Sabah can haunt you again 20 year later and this time innocent PM will suffer.
I hope BN and PR accept reality of the situation. PR please accept reality that the rakyat has mandated BN to rule at FEderal Level. BN must also accept that PR is in charge in 5 states( or now maybe 4).
As for Nizar, he must at least get proper advice before dissolving State assembly as that is clearly the right of the Sultan exclusively. He is putting himself in difficult situation. Should the Sultan refuse to dissolve the assembly, he( Nizar) will look like a moron( as what the Malays feel about him now ).
As for politicians, please understand that integrity is a highly valued criteria. Changing allegiance may be a political harakiri. I will not vote for “katak’ again.
I am tired at this childish antic from these politicians. Grow up. The world economy is upside down. Get real Uncle Lim. Get real Najib, Anwar or Haji Hadi. Get real or get booted out .

Yes, AI and PR must know by now that they are good at cakap cakap saja. Change, change, change – but where is the change?
NATO!
NR and Umno are very good and fast workers. Action speaks louder than words. Boom – change. Just do it!
Watch out, next change, for Kedah, Selangor, and Penang.

The only honourable thing Hee can now do is to resign as state assemblyman and stand for election as an independent. The people of Perak did not vote for you but for DAP! By supporting BN, Hee is a traitor to the rakyat. We are very disappointed with you.
According to the constitution the party that holds the majority form the state government- neither BN or PKR has this majority. So the only way to resolve this political fiasco is to give the rakyat the mandate!
