KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 8 — Perak PKR reached out across the political divide tonight and proclaimed its readiness to work with any party and form a unity government as a resolution to the current rudderless state.
Its chief Farhash Wafa Salvador Rizal Mubarak made an open plea for a new political understanding in hopes of speeding up formation of a new government in Perak following the collapse of the Perikatan Nasional (PN) state government.
“All political parties have to be more mature and have an open attitude. Our country needs an understanding of a new political landscape that can unite all races in meeting the global challenges of Covid-19 by consensus.
“Perak Keadilan invites all politicians to prioritise unity for the prosperity of the rakyat. Any uniting efforts are of the utmost importance now to ensure the interests of the people are not neglected,” he said in a statement.
He reminded Perak lawmakers of their duty as elected representatives to prioritise public interest.
“What is clear is that we are prepared to give our support to a government that prioritises the spirit of unity,” he added.
Earlier today, Perak DAP chief Nga Kor Ming had similarly said his party is willing to partner long-time foe Umno for the sake of government stability.
However, neither PKR nor DAP or their third Pakatan Harapan partner Amanah, have said if they are in support of Umno nominee Datuk Saarani Mohammad to be the next mentri besar.
Bersatu deputy president Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu was forced to resign as Perak mentri besar after Umno lawmakers triggered a no-confidence vote against him in the 59-seat state assembly last Friday.
The outcome was 48 against Ahmad Faizal compared to only 10 in his favour. One spoilt vote was recorded.
The Perak Ruler had held separate audiences with several political leaders earlier today, hoping to find out if there was anyone who commanded the majority support, without any conclusion.
Barisan Nasional leaders are currently in a closed door top-tier meeting here, believed to discuss the Perak crisis among other matters.

Abdul Aziz Bari labels Dewan Rakyat Speaker's inaction over no-confidence motion against PM Muhyiddin ‘a disgrace’
Tuesday, 08 Dec 2020
BY JOHN BUNYAN
IPOH, Dec 8 — Perak DAP deputy president Abdul Aziz Bari today said Dewan Rakyat Speaker Datuk Azhar Azizan Harun’s decision to not bring forward the tabling of a motion of no-confidence against Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin clearly shows that he is trying to protect the prime minister.
The Tebing Tinggi MP said the Parliament is the right place to test the legitimacy of a leader and such a motion should be allowed to be tabled when the situation arises.
“Azhar is kind of telling us to do the fight outside the Parliament when the sitting is ongoing.
“When ideally in a Westminster system the arguments and contestation ought to be done in a civil manner in the House. That’s why I called it a disgrace.
“Doing it outside the House, even if Muhyiddin fails, will complicate matters,” he told Malay Mail.
Abdul Aziz said Muhyiddin might be able to fend off other attempts to overthrow him.
“But if it’s in the House, like in Perak last Friday, it’s effective and the effect takes place immediately.
“And it is open, nobody can dispute it. It’s obviously cheaper and faster, and above all democratic,” he explained.
Earlier today Azhar outlined the reasons why he has not brought forward the tabling of a motion of no-confidence against Muhyiddin.
Azhar began by saying he was unsure how the motion of confidence against the Perak mentri besar was handled during the Perak State Assembly.
He added that firstly, he did not know which Standing Order and what powers were exercised by the Perak state assembly Speaker to enable the motion to be brought forward to be tabled and debated.
“Secondly, I am not bound by other Speakers' actions, what more state assembly Speakers whom I'm not familiar with, on how they handled the situation.
“And I'm also unsure of the Standing Orders used in respective state assemblies,” Azhar was reported telling the Dewan Rakyat when asked by Opposition bloc MPs to clarify his apparent inaction on the matter.
He then insisted that his actions were “not at his own whims and fancies” and that he has carried out in-depth research on the matter.
He was responding to DAP’s Jelutong MP RSN Rayer who asked him to clarify if he could bring forward the motion in question, similar to what transpired in the Perak state assembly last week.
