Welcome our Multi-Language MB Perak

Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin was sworn in as Perak Menteri Besar at the royal town of Kuala Kangsar this morning.The ceremony, which took place at 11.40am, was headed by the Perak Regent Raja Dr Nazrin Shah at the Iskandariah Palace.Mohammad Nizar, who received his appointment letter before the swearing-in ceremony, is Perak's 10th MB.


Mohammad Nizar’s first measure after assuming the menteri besar post was to announce that all compound notices and parking summonses issued up to today by all local councils in Perak would be waived.


What a great piece of news to me, coz i got few MBI summones. Although it was disagreed by certain parties, to me it was like "new menteri besar gives out candies to rakyat".


The swearing in of Mohammad Nizar today follows days on uncertainty and internal dispures within the PAS-DAP-PKR coalition on the composition as well as the menteri besar candidate for the state government.Finally the parties agreed to Mohammad Nizar’s appointment as the menteri besar as well as to have six DAP, three PKR and one PAS state representatives to form the 10-person Perak state executive council.

Most people in Perak was stunned as Chinese newspaper Sin Chew daily has reported on its frontpage today that Nizar had unexpectedly turned up at a forum in Ipoh yesterday and drew applause from the mostly 3,000-strong Chinese crowd.


He stunned the crowd by speaking in Mandarin, Hokkien, Cantonese, Tamil, English and Malay at Sin Chew's 'What's Next' political forum.


Nizar's speak multi language as i believe he learn from his mother who is chinese. Keep up the good work coz the rakyat will monitor closely on the performance and to prove that we did not pick the wrong barisan recently at the general election.
