Watch Perak




In last year's Merdeka Day 50 hour fast and prayer celebration, the pastors were given diferent states to pray for. I was given another state, I can't even remember which it was. But I distinctly remember asking Pastor Lai Leen to give me Perak instead.

Why?

Because Perak is the state to watch.

I distinctly remember praying a different prayer for the nation. That God will move the Perak royalty to initiate changes to the nation.

I believe this impression is shared among those who are watching the signs.

In fact, I'm wondering what's the possibility of the Perak regent Raja Nazrin Shah becoming Prime Minister. Is that allowed for under our constitution? If the laws of the land say it's not possible, then it must surely be otherwise.

Watch Perak.

One of the winds of change sweeping the world is a rising of leaders in their 50's. Not the older ones. Can you start counting who they all are?

Watch the United States. Is Obama in his 50s? Watch Australia. Is Kevin Rudd in his 50s?

Maybe those who you'd like to research a little bit check out the world leaders and the direction things are going. Let me know will ya? :)

A little background into Malaysia:

Malaysia has a unique system reflecting its history and the federal nature of its constitution. The nine sultans take turns to become king of Malaysia for five years (out of 13 states).

Some facts about Raja Dr Nazrin Steven Shah.

Raja Nazrin, who was born in Penang on Nov 27, 1956, and received his early education from St John's Institution (Hey I was a Johanian too!) was appoint the Crown Prince of Perak when his father Sultan of Perak Sultan Azlan Shah became the ninth Supreme Ruler (Yang di-Pertuan Agong) from from 1989 to 1994.


When he married Zara Salim Davidson on May 17, 2007, Raja Nazrin declined state allocation for the ceremony. Bernama reports:

LATEST!


News reported that Raja Dr Nazrin Shah consented to a DAP-PKR-PAS coalition to form the new state government.


The leaders remained tight-lipped on who the new Mentri Besar would be, saying that the matter would be decided at a tripartite meeting later in the night.


Perak PAS secretary Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin, who won the Pasir Panjang state seat, and Perak PKR Jamaluddin Mohad Radsi, the newly elected Behrang assemblyman, are the two contenders for the Mentri Besar post.


Leader of the new coalition, Perak DAP chief Ngeh Koo Ham said: “Raja Nazrin Shah advised us to submit the names of those nominated for the post of Mentri Besar by tomorrow morning (today) and if possible, work out the portfolios and names of executive councillors.


Perak PAS commissioner Ahmad Awang said the names of three candidates, one from each party, for the post of Mentri Besar have been submitted to the palace and it is up to the Regent to decide who takes the post.



SMSes has gone out saying that Ngeh Koo Ham has been accepted as MB instead.


True or not?
