Media Statement by Senior Exco Pakatan Rakyat Perak State Government, MP for Beruas YB Dato’ Ngeh Koo Ham at Pusat Khidmat DAP DUN Sitiwan, Sitiawan on Friday, 28th August 2009:
On 7/8/2009, Dato’ Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir accused me (Ngeh Koo Ham), YB Nga Kor Ming (MP for Taiping and PR Perak State Government Exco member) and YAB Datuk Seri Mohd Nizar Bin Jamaluddin (PR Perak Menteri Besar ) of spreading lies and accusing the BN State Government of approving 14,000 hec of land to Rahman Hydraulic Tin Bhd for Tin prospecting. The same was in fact announced by Dato’ Hamidah Osman, Zambry’s State Government Senior Exco member in April this year to be media. Zambry should clarify whether he is lying or Hamidah Osman is lying and both of them have a duty to the public to clarify the actual situation with regard to the approval of the said 14,000 hec of land.
Since my media statement on 12/8/2009 on this issue, Dato’ Seri Zambry has been exceptionally quiet on this matter. We at Pakatan Rakyat and the people of Perak demand from him transparency and he should clear the air on this issue immediately or we can presume that another scandal is brewing and will cause huge damage to the State of Perak and her people unless it is stopped now.

民联霹雳州高级行政议员兼木威区国会议员拿督倪可汉于2009年8月28日，于实兆远民主行动党州议员服务中心发表文告：
针对国阵高级行政议员拿督哈米达今年四月宣布批准1万4000公顷土地给Rahman HydraulicTin 公司，赞比里必须对此事的真正情况作出解释。
在2009年8月7日，拿督斯里赞比里控诉我（倪可汉）、倪可敏（太平区国会议员、民联霹雳州行政议员）及拿督斯里莫哈末尼查（民联霹雳州务大臣）散布谎言，指责国阵州政府批准了1万4000公顷的土地给Rahman Hydraulic Tin 公司，以进行锡米的采矿探测。然而事实上，在今年4月份，赞比里政府的高级行政议员拿督哈米达就在媒体宣布国阵政府批准了上述土地。
赞比里必须解释，究竟是他还是哈米达在撒谎？他们有责任向公众交代事情的真正情况。
自从我在2009年8月12日针对此事发表文告以来，拿督斯里赞比里却意外地保持沉默，回避这个问题。我们代表民联及所有霹雳州人民，向他提出透明施政的要求，他必须马上作出清楚的交代。如不然，我们可以假设有更多的丑闻正在酝酿，并且会对霹雳州及霹雳州人民造成更大的破坏。

Media Statement by YB Dato’ Ngeh Koo Ham in Ipoh on 26th August 2009:
The Malaysian Bar Council Press Release confirms that Dato’ R. Ganesan was dishonest with regard to the time he ceased practice as a lawyer. Dato’ R. ganesan wrote to Bar Council only after V. Sivakumar’s lawyer notified him that even if he had been duly elected as Speaker (which he was not) he would also have been disqualified.
The Malaysian Bar Council Press Release confirms that Dato’ R. Ganesan has been dishonest when he said he ceased legal practice on 6/8/2009. It was obvious that he had fraudulently back dated his letter to the Bar Council.
The Bar Council had issued a letter to V. Sivakumar’s lawyer, Mr Chan Kok Keong informing him that Dato’ R. Ganesan was still in active practice as on 11/8/2009.
On 12/8/2009, Mr Chan Kok Keong served an affidavit containing the said confirmation on Dato’ R. Ganesan’s solicitors.
The Bar Council confirm that it was only on 13/8/2009, that they received a fax from Dato’ R. Ganesan a letter dated 6/8/2009 informing them that he has ceased practice as from 6/8/2009. It was obvious that Dato’ R. Ganesan had back dated his letter.
Only on 17/8/2009 that the Bar Council acknowledged receipt of Dato’ Ganesan’s back dated letter dated 6/8/2009 and his Notice of Cessation and Statutory Declaration dated 17/8/2009.
The spirit of Article XXX VIA (5) of the Perak Constitution is that the Speaker must cease his existing business or profession immediately and in any case not more than 3 months after his appointment as Speaker failing which he shall be disqualified.
While we never at any time recognize Dato’ R. Ganesan as lawfully elected, even if going by BN’s contention that he was lawfully elected (which he was not) he was disqualified as from 7/8/2009. Dato’ R. Ganesan cannot revive his Speaker post after disqualification by back dating his letter.
What is most disappointing is that we see dishonesty everywhere in BN. From Permatang Pasir candidate, Rohaizat Othman to the court appointed Perak Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Zambry Bin Abdul Kadir and now to Dato’ R. Ganesan, they have been less than honest in their dealings and actions.

Perak State is in a stand still mode and the people suffer as a result. Call on the people to boycott Zambry and his exco for refusing to bow to the wishes of the people that the Perak State Legislative Assembly be dissolved and a fresh election called to resolve the present predicament
More than 6 months have elapsed since the immoral and unprincipled grab of power in Perak by Dato’ Seri Zambry Bin Abdul Kadir and his Exco members. The people of Perak is suffering as no serious investor would want to have a look at Perak due to the uncertainties created by Dato’ Seri Zambry and his BN power grabbers. Recent announcements that some investors are interested to invest in Perak are only eyewash to mislead the people. None of the projects is moving and investors remain at the interested to invest stage.The position of the Menteri Besar is still in doubt waiting for the final arbiter, the Federal Court to make a decision. Entangled together with the question as to who the legitimate Menteri Besar is, is the uncertainty of the local councilors and the village heads appointed by BN to replace the councilors and village heads appointed or elected under the Pakatan Rakyat Government. We hardly see anything moves in Perak as a result. BN is solely responsible for this state of affairs.
During the 10 months’ reign of Perak by Pakatan Rakyat under the able leadership of Dato Seri Nizar Bin Jamaluddin, people see positive changes sweeping through Perak which benefited them. During the short 10 months, scores of positive changes were made which benefited the people.
The people must end this present predicament and the way forward is to dissolve the State Legislative Assembly and allow a fresh election to be held. 90% of those surveyed (which includes both BN and PR supporters) wanted the State Legislative Assembly dissolved. We cannot allow Dato’ Seri Zambry Bin Abd Kadir to go against the wishes of the people. I call on the people to boycott Zambry and his exco members. All organizations and associations must stop inviting them to their functions to send a clear and strong message that we will not accept Zambry’s refusal to dissolve the State Legislative Assembly. Zambry from UMNO with his racist’s mind has said that I have called on the Chinese Associations not to invite him to their functions which is a lie. He tries again to play the racial card which is in vogue with UMNO leaders. My call is to all organizations and associations and to people of all races and religions to boycott him and his Exco members. The desire to see the Perak State Legislative Assembly dissolved to pave the way for a fresh election comes from people of all races and religions as the people is demanding back their democratic rights to chose their leaders to lead the state of Perak.
民主行动党霹雳州主席、木威区国会议员兼民联霹雳州高级行政议员拿督倪可汉于2009年8月20日，在怡保霹雳州总部发表文告：
霹雳州依然处在一个人民受损害的现况。呼吁人民杯葛赞比里及他的行政议员因其拒绝依附人民的意愿解散霹雳州议会重新选举，以便解决目前的窘境。
民联霹雳州政权被拿督斯里赞比里及其行政议员不道德及毫无原则地夺走至今已经超过6个月。霹雳州人民处在受损害的情况，因为拿督斯里赞比里及国阵的夺权者导致的不确定性，造成没有真诚的投资者愿意前来霹雳州进行投资。
最新的宣布指出，有一些投资者有兴趣在霹雳州进行投资只是为了误导人民的表面说辞，事实上并没有任何工程已经开始进行，投资者依然停留在观望的阶段。
州务大臣的地位依然未确定，仍然等待联邦法院仲裁作出最后的判决。在未知谁是真正合法的州务大臣的同时，国阵委任市议员及村长取代民联委任及选出的市议员及村长的做法也出现争议性。我们几乎看不见霹雳州有任何的改进。国阵是唯一必须为这些情况负责。
拿督斯里尼查领导的民联政府在执政的10个月内，让人民看见及感受到霹雳州许多正面及对人民有益的改变。在短短的10个月，有许多积极的政策改变真正惠及人民。
人民必须终止目前的困境，最好的方法就是解散州议会重新选举。根据民调，共有90%的人民（包括国阵及民联的支持者）要求解散州议会。我们不能允许拿督斯里赞比里违背人民的意愿。
我呼吁人民杯葛赞比里及他的行政议员。所有组织及社团一定要停止邀请他们出席本身举办的活动，以便传达一个强烈及清楚的讯息，即我们不会接受赞比里表示拒绝解散州议会的做法。来自巫统并拥有种族歧视的思维的赞比里曾说过我呼吁华人社团不邀请他们出席活动的说法是谎言。他再次使用巫统领袖惯用的种族伎俩。我的呼吁是面向所有的组织、社团及人民，包括所有种族及宗教，全面杯葛赞比里及他的行政议员。
希望霹雳州议会解散并重新进行选举是来自各民族及宗教的人民心里最大的意愿，因为他们希望能重新取回民主的权利，选出他们心目中的领袖来领导霹雳州。

Media Statement By Dato'Ngeh Koo Ham At DAP Perak On 18th Aug 2009
Perak State Assembly sitting on 2/9/2009 is valid and legal. Zambry must respect rule of law
I refer to the Perak State Assembly sitting called by Speaker YB V. Sivakumar to be held on 2nd September 2009. Dato’ Seri Zambry Bin Abd Kadir’s comment that the Speaker will probably hold it under a tree again indicates that Dato’ Seri Zambry will be blocking the usage of the Perak Legislative Assembly Hall for the said sitting.This shows Dato’ Seri Zambry’s utter contempt for the Perak State Legislative Assembly and the democratic system in this country. I hope Dato’ Seri Dr. Zambry Abd. Kadir will respect the rule of law. Though not elected by the people of Perak, we tentatively respect Zambry as the Menteri Besar of Perak as declared by the Court of Appeal, he should also respect YB V. Sivakumar as the legitimate Speaker of the Perak State Legislative Assembly.

Though not elected by the people of Perak, we tentatively respect Zambry as the Menteri Besar of Perak as declared by the Court of Appeal, he should also respect YB V. Sivakumar as the legitimate Speaker of the Perak State Legislative Assembly.
At all material times, both BN and the PR parties respected YB V. Sivakumar as the Speaker of the State Assembly at the last sitting of the Assembly on 7/5/2009.
The 7/5/2009 sitting had not commenced until the Regent of Perak gave his opening speech. The purported election of Dato’ R. Ganesan as the Assembly’s Speaker by a small group of BN elected representatives (which was not legal in itself) was done prior to the opening of the State Assembly by the Regent of Perak. How can a decision made prior to the commencement of a meeting be valid? By insisting that the election of Dato’ R. Ganesan was lawful, Dato’ Seri Dr. Zambry Abd Kadir is denying the role played by his Royal Highness the Sultan of Perak or the Regent with regard to the opening of a State Assembly sitting. He should apologize to the palace for taking such a stand.
As YB V. Sivakumar is still the legitimate Speaker of the Perak Assembly, he is the only person entitled to call for the sitting of the coming assembly and Dato’ Seri Zambry Abd Kadir who heads the Executive must direct the State Secretary to respect the separation of powers in our democratic system. He must accord respect and cooperation and allow elected representatives to attend the sessions fixed on 2/9/2009.
Dato’ Seri Zambry must make clear his stand otherwise the elected representatives of Perak will deem that any blockage to the State Assembly on 2/9/2009 will be deemed to be on his instructions.
Dated this 18th August 2009.
DATO’ NGEH KOO HAM
民主行动党霹雳州主席拿督倪可汉于2009年8月18日在怡保霹雳州总部发表文告：
于2009年9月2日召开的霹雳州议会将是有效及合法的，赞比里必须尊重法律
我经已查阅霹雳州议长西华古玛将于2009年9月2日召开霹雳州议会。拿督斯里赞比里的言论指议长或将再次在树下召开议会，如此恰好证明了拿督斯里赞比里将封锁霹雳州议会厅以召开上述议会。
这显示了拿督斯里赞比里彻底蔑视霹雳州议会以及这个国家的民主制度。我希望拿督斯里赞比里尊重法律。虽然他并非霹雳州人民所选择，然而我们依然尊重上诉庭判决赞比里作为霹雳州务大臣。因此他也应该尊重西华古玛为霹雳州议会合法的议长。
在所有重要时刻，包括国阵及民联都尊重西华古玛在最近一次即2009年5月7日召开的州议会上，他仍然是议长的身份。
2009年5月7日召开的州议会，直至霹雳州摄政王发表开幕御词前都未真正开始进行。当时由一群国阵议员选出拿督加尼森为议长（并不合法），在摄政王还未宣布议会开幕前进行。一个会议开始前作出的决定如何能够被视为有效？
拿督斯里赞比里坚持认为拿督加尼森被选为议长是合法的决定，那么他已经拒绝了霹雳州苏丹殿下或摄政王关于宣布州议会开幕所扮演的角色。赞比里必须为他的坚持向皇宫作出道歉。
当西华古玛还是霹雳州唯一合法的议长，只有他有权力召开州议会，而拿督斯里赞比里领导的行政权利必须指示州秘书尊重我国三权分立的民主制度。他必须给予尊重及合作，并且允许议员们出席定于2009年9月2 日的州议会。
拿督斯里赞比里必须做出一个清楚的立场，否则霹雳州的议员将会认为若在2009年9月2日召开的州议会发生任何阻挡及封锁，这都是来自赞比里的指示。
