Had Najib not seen the ruler but instead advised the Barisan Nasional assemblypersons to obtain a vote of no confidence against Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin, he would have succeeded and there would not have been a constitutional crisis in Perak.
By his rash action to have Zambry appointed menteri besar when Nizar is still holding the office, he had caused the impasse in Perak. Najib had actually committed a serious political misjudgement. Since then, he had been unable to extricate himself out of the political quagmire which he had orchestrated.
