KOTA KINABALU: A police report was made against an activist who had made allegations against Yang di-Pertua Negeri Tun Juhar Mahiruddin over the dissolution of the Sabah Assembly.
Parti Warisan Sabah (Warisan) Wira legal bureau chief Mohd Ardy Nadzrah Abd Rahman said statements by Gerakan Akar Umbi Umno Malaysia (Gaum) chairman Datuk Zulkarnain Mahdar were inappropriate.
Zulkarnain had told a press conference at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission headquarters in Putrajaya that Juhar had abused his power to dissolve the state assembly despite knowing Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal had lost a simple majority.
Mohd Shafie's camp lost 13 of its assemblymen who pledged to support former Chief Minister Tan Sri Musa Aman to lead the new government.
He also alleged Juhar had sided Mohd Shafie because his appointment as the Yang di-Pertua Negeri had been extended.
Ardy said the report made by Zulkarnain to MACC was a signal there were those who refused to return the voting power to the electorate.
"It is an insult to our democratic system by saying that the decision to dissolve the state assembly is not according to the laws and the Constitution.
"Tun's decision is right by taking consideration of the people's rights. Let the people decide on the government through the election system.
"It is time for the people to choose leaders with integrity and not those who only think about personal gains to the extent that they are being labelled as "handicrafts" (that can be bought)," he said after filing a report at the police station in Karamunsing near here.
As for the extension of his appointment as Yang di-Pertua, Ardy said that a motion on that issue was passed in the state assembly sitting.
"Not only was it supported by the Warisan assemblymen but most of the elected representatives."
