malaysiakini and BURYING Democracy in PERAK?

The political impasse of the 2 MBs in Perak continues and it would be a great lesson for all freedom-loving Malaysians to see if our democracy will be buried in Perak.
According to this malaysiakini article Perak speaker and secretary at odds over assembly sittingit appears that the secretary is trying to override the authority and power of the speaker who has called for an emergency session.
This is as ludricous as a company scretary trying to prevent a CEO of a company to make executive decisions.
Of course in the state assembly, the situation is somewhat different but I think there is a great gap between the duties of the secretary and the speaker. In most cases, if one cannot agree with the boss, one usually resigns in protest.
Already there has been too much federal interference in the state matters and it is damaging state-federal relations.
