Sivakumar, Perak Speaker must be neutral.

Someone was saying "I must stress here that a Speaker must be neutral". That is not an easy thing to do since the speaker is an assemblyman. He belongs to a political party. Since the former state government was made defunct, therefore the speaker is at a loss. It is only natural for him to cling to his old peers.

By virtue of him still a public official, Perak Speaker can only be represented by state legal adviser. A friend was saying, Sivakumar is definitely counting his days as Mr Speaker, as Anwar is counting his the moment his sodomy case is in full gear.
