Perak ?a failed democracy

FEB 7 ?From a malaya singapore point of view I was made singapore - malacca understand that the power of the Sultan of Perak to disallow the dissolution of the state assembly is a grey area. What is obvious is the Sultan does not have the power to dismiss the serving menteri besar other than through a vote of no confidence.

Another grey area is whether the Sultan should accede to the request by the menteri besar to dissolve the assembly or whether he can act on his own prerogative to allow it or not.
