Nizar says someone other than Zambry runs Perak

IPOH, Oct 25 — Former Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin today accused State Secretary Datuk Dr Abdul Rahman Hashim of being the “de facto mentri besar” by controlling Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir and meddling with state assembly matters.

His statement irked the usually mild-mannered Abdul Rahman and caused the latter to break his silence and leap to his defence.

“I just laugh at his statement. I laugh to all these nonsense from him,” he told The Malaysian Insider over the phone this evening.

Nizar, in a press conference at the Perak Pakatan Rakyat headquarters here earlier, alleged that Abdul Rahman had been the one to convince Zambry and Speaker Datuk R. Ganesan to replace the current sergeant-at-arms of the state assembly with 15 “samsengs from Umno's Pekida”.- + selanjutnya
