Beseri assemblyperson Ruzaini Rais today conceded that he agreed with the decision of the Raja of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Putra Jamalullail, who had appointed Bintong assemblyperson Azlan Man as the menteri besar.

Ruzaini, who was one of the BN assemblypersons absent at the appointment and swearing-in ceremony at Istana Arau last Thursday, declined further comment on the matter but said that the crisis would end in the near future.

“I have no further comment... in the fasting month, it is proper to seek for forgiveness. Our loyalty to the ruler is undivided,” he said briefly when approached by reporters in Beseri, near Kangar.

Ruzaini also refuted the possibility that there would be a state election.

He added that this was because BN had won with a big majority in Perlis, that is, 10 of the 15 state assembly seats.

"It is not easy to hold another election, if the number of winners and losers is the same, then it is a different story,” he said.
