My mother hails from Perak and I have spent most Hari Raya's in Ipoh... so Perak will always be a part of me. Unfortunately things are not going so well there at the moment. We are being laughed at by everyone especially the international eyes. For a state that has a Sultan who was once Chief Justice of Malaya it is quite a blow for Perakians all over the world.
Are we running the state from under shaded trees now.... with full robe and all!! Is Monkey business equivalent to Monkey Politics?? C'man... even Zambians have upgraded their schools from under the Boab tree using charcoal on grey slates!! And to insult the Sultan to such an extend... how rude...
I like the change from the old stagnant big headed system we've had for the past 15 years... infact i thought some changes would be quite good but unfortunately the opposition have yet to learn to be mature politicians. For what i know The Sultan is wise and fair.
After the results of the last general election, BN had won 28 seats and 3 opposition parties won 31 seats. By majority of party.. BN should have set-up govt as the others were campaigning under different flags. But he was fair, he had asked each and every opposition winners whether they would agree to collaborate as Pakatan Rakyat, they said Yes, and as a wise and fair Sultan he agreed that PR set-up govt as they now have majority.. following rules and constitution of the State of Perak. All agreed ... no protest from BN as this would constitute to Treason...
Suddenly 3 PR monkeys decided to Jump Ship.... and the fair Sultan being very consistent had called them personally to ask whether they have inclination to support BN or PKR. They said as independents, they were leaning towards BN!! So by majority there should be a change of govt..... correct??? You see what i mean by immature .... PR does not accept this...
It is also agreed and understood that the MB answers to the Sultan then to Prime Minister.... that's why they are called Menteri Besar!!! Not a normal Menteri dalam Kabinet dapur!! All that happens in a soverign state need the blessings of the Sultan... Penang/Melaka/Sarawak/Sabah/WP is different... they do not have a Sultan!! To make stately decisions without his consent is fundamentally wrong! To hold a state assembly without his consent is wrong! How difficult is that to understand..
This is my simple understanding of the situation.... I would hope that the powers that be can explain in detail what it is supposed to be or not to be, so that everyone will understand crystal clear. Let the courts decide... worse comes to worst have another state election, choose the better of two evils... spend more of the people's money to satisfy political greed ..... whilst the world is devastated with fallen economy...
Will politicians put food on your table....NO... so screw them lot!! They should be working for us not the other way round!!!
