08:05 | Good morning! Perak has been very much in our thoughts these days as democracy hangs in the balance. Let's say a prayer that justice, wisdom, and good sense will prevail today. |
08:10 | I am actually in Penang now, waiting for the first reports from my contact at the scene in Ipoh. |
08:12 | [Comment From mahyuddin mahzan] May God protect the peace and stability in Perak especially Ipoh. May the people of Ipoh stand up for their rites. This is a sad day indeed and i pay for the better. |
08:13 | If you don't see your comments appearing here, please post in the usual way at the end of the entry. Unfortunately, I don't think I will be able to post all your comments in here. |
08:15 | This is another view of the state government building, which also houses the state assembly, where some of the drama is likely to occur. |
08:17 | [Comment From s.james] for justice and fairness in this David and Goliath epic, Let us pause for a moment,pray to the almighty God in our own diversified way for a peaceful solution to the standoff |
08:17 | [Comment From sitiawan] Hope everything will be alright. I'm hoping the police will do their job professionally this time. |
08:22 | [Comment From doovad] i'm atheist. i do pray. for the inner souls of all to be heard and intra-heard today. from royalties to the man-in-the-street. pause. listen. namaste. we are one. if we have all prayed in our own ways of wiping out corruption and evil, we all will have to live through the detoxification process. the symptoms have surfaced over these years. the remedy can be bitter. but always for the better. |
08:24 | My contact is heading to the High Court, which will hear Zambry's suits at 9.00am. |
08:28 | Zambry has filed two suits. The first is over Speaker Sivakumar's use of undated letters to declare seats vacant. The second is over the suspensions of Zambry and his six exco members. |
08:28 | [Comment From Elijah Rajendran] Let us pray for the sultan and all those in authority that we may live in peace. Also recognize that is God is greater than all men. No matter what happens today, let the ultimate victory be for true democracy! |
08:29 | Blogger delCapo reports that the state government building is crawling with media people and more than 150 police personnel are at the scene. |

08:41 | This is the scene at the state government building this morning. Photo courtesy of blogger delCapo at the scene. |
08:46 | [Comment From delCapo] i'm not alone.... we r a team of 3 |
08:51 | [Comment From ohbulang] dear anil & delCapo good jobs |
08:51 | [Comment From Eva] Keep safe reporters. And thank you for bringing the news to those of us who cannot be there. |
08:52 | Blogger delCapo reports that the crowd is building up at the scene - but more cops than rakyat! |
08:54 | Another contact on the road in Ipoh reports heavy traffic in many places. |
08:59 | Jalan Istana, where the state government building is located, has been closed to traffic. |
09:02 | My contact is now in the High Court. The Speaker is being represented by five lawyers. The lead counsel is the good Tommy Thomas and he is being assisted by Chan Kok Keong, Augustine Anthony, Phillip Koh Tong Ngee and a fifth lawyer. |
09:07 | [Comment From Victor] The use of the phrase 'my contact' makes it sound so mysterious and dramatic :) |
09:09 | Blogger delCapo, who is blogging live at delcapo.wordpress.com, reports that an FRU truck is now blocking one of the main entrances to the Dewan building area. |
09:11 | Another contact outside the state government building reports a crowd of about 800 in the area. That's close to the 1,000, which delCapo had estimated earlier. |
09:14 | [Comment From Barathi Tamil] Thanks to AnilNetto thanks for your up to date upate,,,,we are following up Perak situation from your update....BN still never learn from their lesson...Hope Speaker Sivakumar is Okay...Salute to Him ,from all of us here in KL |

09:14 | [Comment From abd karim bin shariff] thanks for keeping update imformation..we pray to ALLAH pakatan heroes will win |
09:17 | The contact has revised the estimate of the crowd to over 1,000. People are expecting the PR Aduns to show up for the assembly sitting at 10.00am. They Aduns are believed to be holed up at a hotel somewhere. |
09:19 | [Comment From Singam] As a matter of form, the ADUNs should show up at the State Secretariat to verify the unavailability before adjourning elsewhere. |

09:25 | The suit at the High Court is being filed by the BN state government team. My contact there says the BN is being represented by lawyers Dato Hasfarizam b Harun, Faizul Hilmi, Ahmad Zamri and Badrul Hishah b Abdul Wahab. |
09:26 | [Comment From joric] Is it wise for the PR Aduns to go to the State Secretariat? Zambry has already warned that it is a treat to national security. |
09 :26 | [Comment From David] I don't think so the PR Aduns will be not admitted to the State Secretariat - that will be the excuse to meet in a coffee shop and making history. sumber anilnetto |
