Mega crisis in mini state

Defiant: Shahidan (hands raised) is refusing to accept the Sultan’s decision to appoint Azlan as Perlis MB and has announced that the latter would be sacked from Umno. Here he is flanked by Datuk Azhar Ahmad (seated left) and Zahidi (standing right) with other state assembly persons.

DATUK Seri Shahidan Kassim has always treated Perlis as his political fiefdom.

Everyone in Umno knows that. They also know better than to challenge him because he will use every trick in the book to take you on.
