Perak Impasse

There is an urgent need to settle the political impasse in Perak to that normalcy can return to Perak. Allowing the uncertainty to continue will not work well for the state in particular and the country in general. This has and will continue to affect the administration of the state's affairs, including administrative matters pertaining to trade and investments such as the approval of permits and projects involving the state administration. At the end of the day, the people will suffer. In a democratic system like Malaysia's, there is definitely a defined role for the Constitutional Monarchy as well as the courts. Their roles are enshrined in the Constitution and therefore must be respected and accepted. Having said that, it is best to let the people decide on the government they want so that the government of the day can act confidently with the support of the people. We are a democratic society and the people should be allowed to decide on who they want to lead in the state.
