Democracy Tree
The Democracy Tree ( Bahasa Malaysia: ) is a rain tree in Malaysia, named for its role in the 2009 Perak constitutional crisis. It is noted as the venue where 27 Perak state lawmakers from Pakatan Rakyat comprising Democratic Action Party, Parti Islam Se-Malaysia and Parti Keadilan Rakyat, held an 'emergency assembly' on 3 March 2009. The tree was located about 100m from the Perak Darul Ridzuan building which houses the state assembly. The assembly was held under the tree by the state assemblymen after being blocked by the police from entering the premises. Dr. Zambry, from UMNO, and recently suspended assembly secretary Abdullah Antong Sabri had claimed that the sitting was invalid because it did not have the consent of Sultan Azlan Shah. Assembly The 27 assemblymen who turned up – all from the Pakatan Rakyat – stood around V. Sivakumar, the speaker, who had donned his speaker's robe. The sitting convened at 10.20am. Motions Three motions were passed within 15 during the 'e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
