Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir has denied that Umno has sent representatives to London to seek a Queen’s Counsel advice on the situation in Perak.
“None. Who went to London? I am here,” he said, adding that he had been carrying out his duties as Mentri Besar as usual.
Dr Zambry was asked about the reported London trip by lawyers on behalf of him and his six exco members to seek opinions from a QC over their suspension from the state assembly by the Perak Speaker.
Dr Zambry also said he had identified a few names as potential candidate for the Bukit Gantang by-election.
He said there was still time to submit the names for the leadership’s consideration.
“We must really look at the background of the candidate this time around,” he said. He added that the candidate “has to be popular and has to be acceptable to the people”.
Asked when he intended to move into the Perak Mentri Besar’s official residence as former Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin and his family had moved out on Sunday, Dr Zambry said it was not important.
He said he wanted to carry out his duties “without any distraction”.
