Nizar held a special exco meeting at the MB residence

7/2 Nizar, who has refused to step down as Perak MB, held a special exco meeting at the MB residence.

In the eye of the media, the new MB is Zambry, who has sworn in yesterday.

So many events had happened. The new BN Perak government could be formed because Jelapang assemblyman Hee Yi Foong quitting the DAP to become an Independent and supported the BN. It is so dramatic. Today you re MB, tomorrow you are not. The argument is not over yet. I guess the court has to decide who is legal and what is valid.

Let us see the earlier falls:

1966- Sarawak

The Federal Government imposed a state of emergency in Sarawak citing chaos when Stephen Kalong Ningkan(was chief minister but position removed by the state governor) had planned to call for a snap election after he was reinstated as its chief minister.

1978 - Kelantan

Kelantan's Pas-Umno coalition government in 1974-78 faced a crisis when Pas president Asri Mua tried to oust MB Datuk Mohammed Nasir, who represented Pas but was Umno-backed. The Federal government declared a state of emergency when a demonstration took place in Kota Bharu after Nasir has refused to resign although a motion of no confidence was passed against him in the state assembly.

1991 - Kelantan

Two semangat 46 assembly Nordin Sallh and Wan Mohamed Najib Mohamed quit the party and joined Umno. On April 25, the Kelantan State Assembly passed an amendment to the state constitution, which forces a state assemblyman to lose his seat and declared vacant if he quit the party or is sacked. A court battle ensued, resulting in their position being reaffirmed as assemblymen in 1992.

1986 and 1994 -- Sabah

Parti Bersatu Sabah's president Datuk Seri Joseph Pairin Kitingan called for a snap election in 1986 and his party won. In 1994 election, PBS won 25 state seats while its opponents won 23. Pairin was sworn in as chief minister but later resigned when his party was hit by a series of defections that resulted in PBS having only five seats.
