Things in Perak are getting uglier by the day and the rak'yat really don't deserve the type of political quagmire that the state is in.
After its zenith as a tin-producing state in the 60s, Perak has been in relative decline and lost touch with the more progressive states like Penang, Johor and Selangor.
As if that is bad enough, the state is now paralysed by the continuing saga of the 2 competing MBs as described in this malaysiakini article Crisis looms: Perak MB, 6 excos suspended.
I believe the view of most ordinary folks is that the most equitable manner to settle the issue of who leads Perak is for by-elections to be held for the whole state if not for the the 3 ADUNs who crossed over.
Since the problem is perceived to be caused by the federal leadership, it would be proper for them to start putting the matter right.
Perak seems to be a good example of how things can go awry when the democratic rights of the people are usurped.
