The Public Accounts Committee of the Perak state legislative assembly has frozen the wages of both Pakatan Rakyat Menteri Besar Nizar Jamaluddin and BN Menteri Besar Zambry Kadir with immediate effect.
Three advisors and information chief Hamdi Abu Bakar, who were all appointed by Zambry, were also ordered to vacate their offices at the state secretariat building.
The PAC held an inquiry on Mar 5 to determine which of the two chief ministers and their respective teams of executive councillors should receive salaries and allowances. But only Nizar turned up.
Northwestern Perak state has been gripped by political turmoil after last month’s unpopular power grab led by incoming prime minister Najib Abdul Razak to topple the Pakatan Rakyat administration.
Pakatan, which wants to return the mandate to the Perak people to elect their own leaders, has refused to concede and launched a barrage of legal suits against their BN counterparts.
In the meantime, there are two concurrent state governments - the BN line-up sanctioned by the Perak Sultan and the Pakatan’s supported by the people. - Suara Keadilan
