I seldom take a stance on the issue of Perak because I consider it a state issue. However, since our Home Minister has commented that the removal of the former Speaker Sivakumar by the police is within the Standing Orders of Perak state, I have to interject.

See, this is where being an independent makes you a rational and better human being than being a biased nutcase on either side. You actually seek out information for yourself.

Referring to the PDF file provided above, page 28, Standing Order 44 (2):

"The Chair shall order any member whose conduct is grossly disorderly to withdraw immediately from the Assembly during the remainder of that day's sitting, and the Bentara Dewan shall act on such orders as he may receive from the Chair in pursuance of this Standing Order"

The standing order specifically states that the Bentara Dewan shall act on such orders, not the police. Therefore, the government of Perak has every right to sue the police and the Home Minister, as Hishamuddin Tun Hussein suggests.
