All 31 Perak assemblymen from the DAP, Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) and PAS have signed a letter of undertaking indicating their support for a three-party coalition and the appointment of Pasir Panjang assemblyman Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin as menteri besar.
Perak PAS deputy commisioner Asmuni Awi said today that the letters were handed over to the Perak Sultan’s private secretary, Datuk Abdul Rahim Mohamad Nor, at about 10 last night.“After the representatives of the three parties were summoned by the Regent of Perak, Raja Dr Nazrin Shah, at 2pm yesterday, we signed and handed over the letters,” he told Bernama when contacted here today. Mohammad Nizar, 51, is Perak PAS liaison secretary and would be the state’s 10th menteri besar. Last night, the swearing-in ceremony for the menteri besar’s post slotted for 4pm at Istana Iskandariah, was postponed after the three parties could not agree on the allocation of exco posts in the new coalition government.
