Zambry denies Umno engaging QC


By Neville Spykerman | KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 24, 2009 | Malaysianinsider

– Datuk Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir denied today Umno was seeking the services of a Queen’s Counsel in Britain to break the constitutional deadlock in Perak.

“No one has gone to London and we are not engaging any QCs,” he said.

The Perak Menteri Besar, from Barisan National (BN), was speaking to the press after attending the official launch of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MCAC) at the Putra World Trade Centre.

On a separate issue, Zambry said he had identified several suitable Umno candidates for the Bukit Gantang by-elections which will be held on April 7.

The Parliamentary seat became vacant with the death of Pas Member of Parliament Roslan Shaharum, 50, who died on Feb 9.

Zambry said Bukit Gantang was previously contested by Umno and the candidate must be acceptable to locals.

He said the list of potential candidates would soon be submitted to the prime minister.

“God willing, we will win,” he replied when asked about BN chances of taking the seat in the upcoming by-election.

He also said that he was not in a hurry to move into the official residence of the Perak Menteri Besar, which has been vacated by Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin.

“That is a small issue and I am more eager to get on with my duties and responsibilities.”
