Sivakumar appoints new state assembly secretary

By SK English Team
Perak legislative Speaker V Sivakumar has suspended the state assembly secretary Abdullah Antong Sabri with immediate effect for not carrying out his duties in a professional way.
The Speaker also said that an emergency sitting of the assembly slated for tomorrow would go ahead as planned. Two motions are due to be tabled. One is a vote of confidence in PAS leader Nizar Jamaluddin as Menteri Besar of Perak, and the other for dissolution of the state assembly.
“Further to Abdullah’s suspension, I have appointed Mohd Misbahul Munir Masduki as the assembly’s secretary,” Sivakumar said.
Mohd Misbahul was the political secretary to Nizar. Abdullah had issued a statement yesterday that Sivakumar’s decision to call for the emergency sitting was illegal as it did not have the consent of the Perak Sultan.
