Even as I write this Malaysia's best reality TV Show is unfolding.
Just imagine the scene - a locked up Government building, guarded by a cordon of riot police and backed up by the water cannons.
Who are they guarding against? The state legislators who want to attend an emergency session to clarify who should lead the state government.
You can read the malaysiakini article here.
Meanwhile a plethora of lawyers are pleading their case in the Ipoh high court and suits and counter-suits are being filed - I guess the lawyers are happy at being able to plead some cases in constitutional law.
That branch of the law was gathering dust in the libraries but the cases in Perak are worth a closer study.
Let us hope that the police do not act with their usual Rambo tactics but follow the rules of engagement fairly for all.
Maybe we should thank the sultan of Perak for the script of this reality TV show. At least long abandoned Perak is now in the full glare of publicity. As the former Lord President of the highest courts of Malaysia, he is well qualified to create the sublimely intricate legal problems that Perak is facing.
