Perak Ruler sets 2pm deadline


IPOH: The stalemate over the state government entered its third day with the state Ruler giving all sides until 2pm today to sort things out.

Pakatan Harapan, with 29 assemblymen, needs just one more to form a state government. However, Barisan Nasional with 27 and PAS with three, could form a coalition and get to the magic number of 30 first.
