It was unfortunate that he refused to do so,” he explained.Shahrul also said that although Ngeh tried to adjourn the assembly before appointing a new Speaker, the attempt was quickly negated by the fact that the adjournment of the assembly required a motion as per the assembly’s standing orders.“Also, Ngeh was no longer the Speaker at that point of time based on the invoked 13.2 Standing Order and the motion put forward by the mentri besar for the Speaker to vacate his seat which was seconded by 35 members of the state assembly,” he said.Sharul also said that the notice to appoint a new Speaker was in fact delivered to the assembly secretariat seven days before as per the requirement; thus, the appointment of Datuk Mohammad Zahir Abdul Khalid as the new State Speaker is valid.Earlier, Ngeh in a statement accused the Perak Perikatan Nasional (PN) government under Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu of “assaulting democracy” at yesterday’s state assembly sitting.Ngeh, who filed a police report over yesterday’s incident, urged the police to conduct a thorough investigation and act immediately against those involved and charge them in court so that the rule of law can be upheld.
