Nizar 'marched out' of his office

Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin, who refused to resign as Perak menteri besar, was marched out of the state secretariat building here yesterday after he turned up to claim his old office. He led his former exco members in a convoy of Toyota Camry cars to "show up for work as usual" and was allowed in by state Secretary Datuk Abdul Rahman Hashim.

Nizar then made his way to his office, which had been cleared out since the Sultan of Perak ordered his resignation on Thursday, with his retinue and journalists in tow.

He maintained he would continue as menteri besar until he was ousted by a vote of no confidence in the state assembly.

"Until then, I am still the menteri besar of Perak, and if Barisan Nasional thinks they can come in with their own menteri besar, he will just have to share the office with me," he said.
When he sat down at the desk in his office to talk to reporters, Rahman came in and shouted at the press to leave.

Ipoh police chief Azisman Alias also told Nizar to stop the press conference and hold it outside the building.

When Nizar and the former executive councillors left the top floor, they were prevented from entering the other offices in the building by the police.

The offices of the exco members had also been emptied.

One of them, Nga Kor Ming, nearly caused a fist fight when he was barred from entering his office.

Checks revealed that Nizar's and the former exco members' key cards had been deactivated.

The police finally shooed the journalists from the building at 11am, and the Pakatan Rakyat assemblymen followed a few minutes later.

The exco members all left in their official cars and said they would not hand them over.

Rahman said the eviction of Nizar and the others had been done in accordance with procedure and he was acting within his jurisdiction as state secretary to secure the state secretariat building.

"They were given letters to clear out on Thursday, and their aides have collected all their things.

"So don't say that their things are still in the office.

"In fact, the reason I let them in was out of the kindness of my heart.

"By right, they shouldn't even come here any more.

"The next time, the gates will not be open for them, and they will have to get passes, like any other ordinary visitor." Link to this Page
