Judge in Perak Speaker, V. Sivakumar’s case has contradicted himself and acted ultra vires

MEDIA STATEMENT

The Ipoh High Court yesterday struck out with costs the suit filed by Perak Legislative Assembly Speaker, V. Sivakumar against Dato’ R Ganesan seeking damages for assault, battery and wrongful detention as well as aggravated damages.

I would like to express my total disappointment with the judgment for the following 3 reasons:-

1. On the one hand Justice Azahar Mohamed said that the court could not interfere with the sitting of the Perak State Legislative Assembly on May 7 because Article 72(1) of the Federal Constitution provides that ‘the validity of any proceeding in any state legislative assembly cannot be questioned in any court’ and therefore struck out v. Sivakumar’s suit, but on the same breath he contravened the said provision by stating that the decision of the legislative assembly on May 7, 2009 to remove the Plaintiff, V. Sivakumar as Speaker and to appoint the Defendant, Dato’ R. Ganesan was conclusive and had been fairly determined by the State Assembly on May 7, 2009.

2. The issue of who is the legitimate Speaker was not the subject matter of this suit and therefore, the judge has acted ultra vires (outside his jurisdiction) to state that the removal of V. Sivakumar and the appointment of Dato’ R. Ganesan was conclusive and had been fairly determined by the State Assembly on May 7, 2009.

3. The learned Judge ought not to have strike out the suit as this suit is an action against assault, battery and wrongful detention and not concerning the proceedings of the State Assembly.

In the current Perak crisis, many perverse judgments or judgments not made according to law (in the words of former Court of Appeal Judge, Dato’ NH Chan) have been made and the decision of Justice Azahar Mohamad is definitely another addition.

Dated this 9th day of September 2009.

民主行动党木威区国会议员兼民联高级行政议员拿督倪可汉于200999日(星期三)在怡保霹雳州总部发表文告:

撤销霹雳州议长西华古玛诉讼案件的法官已经自我矛盾并且超越权限

怡保高庭在昨天撤销霹雳州议长西华古玛针对拿督甘尼申一系列突袭、暴力及非法囚禁他所提出的诉讼,并谕令西华古玛负责堂费。

我要提出3个原因,表达我对于这个判决的彻底失望:

1. 当阿查哈莫哈末法官表示,在联邦宪法第721)条文下,“所有在州议会所作出的有效议程都不能被带上法庭挑战”,故法庭不能干预霹雳州57日的州议会,因此撤销西华古玛的诉讼;然而他却在同时违反自己提出的上述条件,指200957日召开的议会,开除原告西华古玛作为议长,并委任被告拿督甘尼申为议长的决定是令人信服的,而且是州议会的公平决定。

2. 关于谁才是合法议长的课题,并不是这项诉讼的主题,因此这名法官已经超越了权限(在他的司法权之外),指定开除西华古玛及委任拿督甘尼申是令人信服并获得州议会公平判决的决定。

3. 有经验的法官应该不会撤销这项诉讼,因为这项诉讼是针对一系列突袭、暴力及非法囚禁而不是关于州议会的议程。

目前的霹雳州危机中,法官们作出了许多荒谬的判决或没有根据法律依据的判决(前上诉庭法官拿督陈Dato’NH CHAN评语),阿查哈莫哈末法官的判决为此再增加一个荒谬的例子。

Media Statement by Senior Exco Pakatan Rakyat Perak State Government, MP for Beruas YB Dato’ Ngeh Koo Ham in Ipoh, on Tuesday, 1st September 2009:

The people of Perak did not celebrate Malaysia Independence day yesterday (31st August 2009) because they have been colonized again. We must regain our independence and the first step is to boycott the BN colonist.

In Perak though a State within the Federation of Malaysia, there was hardly any celebration of Malaysia Independence Day yesterday (31st August) and the days preceding it. This is understandable as the people of Perak had been colonized again i.e the imposition of the will of a group of people over the will of the general populace. This domination was enforced by force literally through the barrel of the gun. The BN party and the its leaders who have been rejected by the people of Perak used the police to enforce their dominance.

On 3 March 2009, we saw the police preventing Perak State elected representative from entering the State Assembly to attend a meeting convened by the lawful Speaker, YB V. Sivakumar.

Our 5 May 2009, we saw the police invading the State Assembly and forcibly removing the lawful Speaker and imprisoning him in a room.

On many other occasions we have also seen police preventing the lawful Speaker and his Privileges Committee members from operating or using the State Assembly facilities.

Police have also been used to arrest hundreds of people who protested against BN for trampling upon the democratic rights of the people of Perak. Many were arrested for wearing black shirts, holding candle light vigils, drinking black coffee and holding protest fasts.

BN the colonial master of Perak is running Perak like a police state.

The BN colonial master tried to create a semblance of Independence Day celebration by putting up flags at government buildings but people of Perak were in fact mourning the death of democracy in Perak.

According to surveys conducted by NTV 7, Merdeka Centre and others, about 90% of the people of Perak (supporters from both BN and PR) wants the State Legislative Assembly dissolved to pave way for a fresh election to resolve the present constitutional crisis. The will of the people must be respected.

I challenged the Prime Minister, Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak, as Chairman of BN and Dato’ Seri Zambry Abdul Kadir as BN chief in Perak to dissolve the Perak State Legislative Assembly if they truly subscribe to democratic principles. Otherwise, the people of Perak must continue to strive against this colonial Master until democracy is restored. The 1st step is to boycott the Perak BN State Government by not inviting Dato’ Seri Zambry and his exco members to any of our functions.

霹雳州民联高级行政议员兼木威区国会议员拿督倪可汉于2009年9月1日在怡保发表文告:

霹雳州人民并没有庆祝昨天的马来西亚国庆日,因为他们被国阵被殖民统治,因此我们必须重新取回独立自主,第一个步骤即是杯葛国阵的殖民统治者。

霹雳州作为马来西亚联邦一份子,在国庆日当天及前夕,几乎没有任何庆祝活动。这是因为霹雳州人民被再次殖民,例如被霹雳州人民拒绝的国阵政党及其领袖使用警察来强行执行他们的统治,导致大多数的人民被一小撮人强迫接受他们的意愿。

在2009年3月3日,我们看见警察阻止霹雳州议员进入议会厅出席由合法议长西华古玛召开的州议会。

在2009年5月5日,我们看见警察侵入议会厅并强制地将合法议长拖离议会厅同时囚禁他。

还有许多的情况,我们看见警察阻止合法议长及其特权委员会成员进入州议会以召开会议或使用议会厅设施。

警察也被利用来逮捕许多反抗国阵践踏霹雳州人民的民主权益的人,还有逮捕许多穿黑衣、举行烛光会、喝黑咖啡及举行绝食活动的人。

国阵的殖民统治者已经将霹雳州变成警察国。

国阵的殖民统治者尝试以在政府建筑物张挂国旗作为全民庆祝国庆日的假象,然而霹雳州人民事实上却是在哀悼霹雳的民主死亡。

根据NTV7电视台、独立民调中心等,大约有90%的霹雳州人民(国阵及民联的支持者)要求霹雳州议会解散并重新选举,已解决目前的宪政危机。人民的意愿必须被尊重。

我挑战首相兼国阵主席拿督斯里纳吉及国阵霹雳州主席拿督斯里赞比里解散霹雳州议会,如果他们真正遵守民主的原则;否则,霹雳州人民将继续反抗殖民统治者直至民主被重新归还。第一步即是杯葛邀请霹雳州国阵政府拿督斯里赞比里及所有的行政议员出席任何的活动。
