Analisis
Kami mengalu-alukan campurtangan pihak istana dalam memberi panduan dan mendidik Datuk Seri Nizar yang sememangnya merupakan seorang yang tidak menitikberatkan protokol dalam menjawat kuasa seorang Menteri Besar di sebuah negeri Melayu. Tindak-tanduk Nizar amat mengecewakan dalam menjadi boneka kepada pimpinan DAP di Perak. Beliau tidak kelihatan langsung mempunyai karisma seorang pemimpin. Kini beliau telah berdepan dengan tindakbalas pihak istana Sultan Perak. Sultan Perak sendiri mungkin faham bahawa seorang golongan marhaen yang diberikan kuasa menjadi ketua tanpa latihan sewajarnya adalah ibarat beruk diberi bunga. Apatah pula menjadi ketua boneka.

That the appointment of Yang Berbahagia Dato' Haji Jamry Sury was made only after assent was granted by HRH Paduka Seri Sultan Perak Darul Ridzuan. That the affairs of the Islamic religion as well as institutions and agencies responsible for the Islamic religion are under the direct jurisdiction of HRH Paduka Seri Sultan Perak.
In view of that and in accordance with the view of HRH Paduka Seri Sultan Perak, Yang Amat Berhormat Mentri Besar has a responsibility to seek an audience with the Sultan, to inform the Sultan and HRH the Raja Muda and seek consent before proceeding with any action associated with Islamic affairs, institutions and agencies having responsibilities with Islam (in Perak), and this includes the business of appointments, placements and transfers of officers and staff who deal in Islamic affairs, even more so for key and important positions.
3. The working relations to which respect for HRH Paduka Seri Sultan is a convention and work culture that have always been adhered to by each Mentri Besar with the Palace all these while. HRH Raja Muda reminded that the relations to ensure such understanding must be respected at all times.
All actions undertaken without having prior consent of HRH the Sultan and HRH the Raja Muda are deemed as ignoring or undermining the positions of HRH Paduka Seri Sultan as the head of Islam (in the state) and HRH Raja Muda Perak who is the President of MAIAMP.
4. HRH Raja Muda Perak also conveyed the advice and views of Paduka Seri Sultan Perak that any head of government while carrying a certain action or duty would have to observe justice in adherence to the procedures and rules of administration based on existing laws.
The Sultan is of the view that the stability of any administration and government should be based on the principles which upheld the rule of law and procedures. HRH the Sultan emphasises great importance to harmonious and good working relations among the administrators and political leaders in Perak for the interest and wellbeing of the rakyat.
5. It has been the principle of HRH Paduka Seri Sultan Perak that His government practises and oversees practices which are just and the process of justice should be adhered to so that no one among the Sultan's subjects should feel that they had become victims of slander or pressure from certain quarters who hold higher office. Before a decision or sentence is made, the process and procedure where there is justice should be fully adhered to.
The principle of natural justice needs to be respected, as such whichever side, which had been accused (of something), should be given their rights to clarify and defend themselves so that a fair and just consideration can be made.
6. In the foregoing spirit, HRH Raja Muda Perak has conveyed the view and stand of HRH Paduka Seri Sultan Perak that the directive to transfer Yang Berbahagia Dato' Jamry Sury with immediate effect be revoked.
