And now, UMNO is turning to our colonial masters for legal advice to break the deadlock and to finally legitimise the establishment of the new Perak state government. The party have instructed one of its lawyers to meet a representative of the Queen's Counsel (QC) in London.
The QC or known as the King's Counsel during the reign of a male monarch, are lawyers appointed by letter patents to be one of "Her [or His] Majesty's Counsel learned in the law". Members have the privilege of sitting within the Bar of court.
But the questions is: Why the need to go all the way to London to seek legal advice when we have our very own Malaysian Bar Council who can do the job?
Well, the reason is clear. The Malaysian Bar Council have already given its Pakatan-friendly verdict on the Perak constitutional dilemma. On February 19, the council's president, Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan said snap elections in the state were the best solution to democratically decide the legitimacy of the new state government.
