malaysiakini and the ONGOING SAGA of the PERAK MBs

It's tough being an MB these days, especially in Perak where there are two claimants to the title.
On one side we have the PAKATAN MB who was forced out of office; on the other is the BN MB who usurped the office with the blessings of the Perak sultan.
It seems that the folks in my state are not happy with the situation where the PAKATAN MB has proved a welcome change to the old scheme of things of the BN.
Nizar was not too popular when he was first selected but he has shown great leadership skills to govern the opposition state.
The issue is now in the courts and it seems the BN MB has now decided to get a QC's advice on how to tackle the legal issues.
Now we all know that engaging or even getting advice from a QC is not cheap. After all UK footballers can easily earn 30,000Pounds Sterling a week.
You can read the details in this malaysiakini article here.
According to the Star, party of lawyers and others are flying to London to consult with the QC and I just wonder who is footing the bill.
Based on the article, at least 3 persons are going to do legal research and consultation.
I wonder who is going to foot the bill?
I am sure the good citizens of Perak do not agree to this expense when they know the answer as who should be their MB.
All they need to do is to mark that "X" on the ballot paper.
