IPOH: Tualang Sekah assemblyman, Datuk Nolee Ashilin Mohammed Radzi said while she has decided to support Perak Pakatan Harapan (PH) in order for the coalition to form the state government, she is still a Barisan Nasional (BN) member.
Taking to her Facebook account, Nolee Ashilin said her decision was made for the sake of the people.
Nolee Ashilin, who won with a 1,099 vote-majority, said Perak BN failed to form the government when the party only secured 27 seats while PAS obtained three seats and the latter refused to collaborate with BN exclusively.
On that note, she said she resolved to give support to the PH Menteri Besar candidate to ensure that the establishment of the state government is in accordance with the procedure.
"However, I would like to stress that I am not jumping out of BN and I am still a BN representative. I would like to apologise and I am ready for the next cause of action that will be taken by the leaders," she said.
BN chairman Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir yesterday during a press conference had said that no action would be taken against the two assemblymen who supported PH.
"No point (to take the action). We respect their decision as this is a democratic process," he added.
Yesterday, Perak PH chairman and Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) chairman Ahmad Faizal Azumu was appointed as the 12th Menteri Besar after obtaining a simple majority following two BN assemblymen, Nolee and Sungai Mani assemblyman Datuk Zainol Fadzi Paharuddin pledging their support for PH.
