KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 26 — The move to oust Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu as Perak mentri besar was taken for the benefit of the people, DAP Socialist Youth (Dapsy) chief Howard Lee Chuan How has said.

In a statement issued late last night, he alleged that greed led to Ahmad Faizal’s downfall, along with a deteriorating performance under the Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) government, which was contrary to his behaviour during the Pakatan Harapan (PH) administration.

“Perhaps many do not realise that Ahmad Faizal’s performance was deteriorating and he was getting greedy under the PPBM government, compared to the PH era when he was reined in from any abuse of power,” Lee said.

Malaysians were unhappy with the change of power in Perak earlier this month, as they felt it showed politicians remain focused on power struggles rather than bread-and-butter issues during this time of pandemic.

Perak’s Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah even went as far as to say he took no pride in appointing the state’s third mentri besar since the conclusion of the 14th general election in 2018.

The Sultan also said this was a reflection of failure in the Perak Legislative Assembly.

In his statement, Lee gave three reasons to explain why the Opposition has a stronger voice now that Ahmad Faizal is no longer Perak mentri besar.

Firstly, all districts represented in the State Assembly will get a fair allocation irrespective of whether their elected representative is aligned with the government or a member of the Opposition.
