KUALA LUMPUR, June 15 — Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin was sworn in today as Bukit Gantang MP amid tight security around Parliament House.
Several opposition MPs were heard shouting "Hidup Rakyat" as soon as the swearing-in ceremony ended, with some of them seen wearing headbands with the words "Bubar Dun".
Speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia, who was annoyed by the actions of the Perak lawmakers, asked Nizar, M. Kulasegaran and Nga Kar Ming to leave the House, after they refused to remove the headband.
Several Perak Pakatan Rakyat (PR) Perak lawmakers were also present to show support to the ousted Perak mentri besar who was asked to step down by the Perak Sultan last February.
Nizar won the Bukit Gantang seat in April in a by-election seen as a referendum on the takeover of the state government by Barisan Nasional (BN) through defections.
A relatively unknown politician until his appointment as mentri besar last year, Nizar early this month was voted into the PAS central working committee and obtained the highest. - TMI
