Should the Agong intervene?

Aziz Tapa, the Umno veteran, has suggested that the Yang diPertuan Agong intervenes to resolve a prolonged spat between PM Badawi and Dr M. "Call for Agong to intervene in Mahathir-Abdullah spat", Bernama, 22/5
Aziz is not the first to invoke the Agong's name since Dr M announced quitting Umno last Sunday. The pro-Umno blogger, A Voice, has already put up a posting on "Agong's Constitutional Power to Remove the PM" as early as Tuesday.

Should the Agong intervene? Dr M, asked in Tokyo about Aziz's suggestion, says "Don't involve the King", Bernama 22/5. But I have a feeling this is not for Dr M to decide ....

    Next time Samy Vellu and his Deputy quarrels..Agong also intervene? Ong Ka Chuan and Chua Soi Lek quarrel, Agong also intervene?

    What stupid idea? UMNO buggers can try, but i think His Majesty will not even hear it.

  2. Merely unsiping what the "Tingkat 4" were trying to spin by misquoting an article in the federal constitution.

    Thats my legally untrained perspective.

    Do the lawyers share my view?

    If any lawyers could explain, do so in simple understandable BM or English, not Greek.

    I think Agong should not be involved in the squabbling between Mahathir and Pak Lah.The King should not intervene as it is against the law and futhermore,he should be neutral and let UMNO's people to decide among themselves.

    Who is Aziz Tapa and how stupid he must be? What has His Majesty the Agong got to do with internal politics of one of Malaysian parties? Of course Agong will never be dragged into something like this... He has proven to be very wise and intelligent man. Daulat Tuanku!

  7. There's no question of the Agong intervening. He is obliged to support the incumbent who has been has been voted in at the GE.

    If anything, the Agong should lay the law down on Firaun who has no idea of what Statesmanship is or what the etiquettes of a retired PM entail.

    Besides, Firaun, since his resignation from UMNO, has no locus atndi as a politician. He is just like you and me, a John Doe!!

  8. The quarrel between AAB abd Tun mahatir is not a constitutional issue at all. It has nothing to do with the government whatsoever; it is a private matter and there is no place for the Agong to intervene except on a personal basis, that Mahatir isma friend of the Agong and on the same basis as AAb.

    To even raise the issue of intervention is laughable. Mahatir is in his private capacity and what has his interference in UMNO affairs got to do with the Agong ?

    To put the matter into the right context, Mahatir is out to save his own skin because the report of the Royal Commission is now out in the open and the report finds Mahatir culpable criminally; itmis the duty of the Attorney General to undertake the investigation that has been recommended by the Royal Commission.

    I agree with some opinion that has appeared on the bloggers' forum that Mahatir is now SHAKING IN HIS PANTS, AS HE RIGHTLY OUGHT TO AFTER ALL THE TALK THAT DATO SRI ANWAR IS SET TO TAKE GOVERNMENT IN SEPT., For Anwar it need not be a revenge thing because the report of the Royal Commission has recommended police investigation and any in coming government is bound by duty under the laws of Malaysia to fullfil the terms of the recommendation of the Royal Commission. The Present BN government is also bound by duty to investigate whether they like it or not !

  13. Don't drag DYMM Yang Di-Pertuan Agong into this current crisis which could end on it's own if Abdullah Ahmad Badawi steps down.
    The whole world knows that Abdullah is or has over the last couple of years become so lame, irresponsible, lazy, corrupt and lost his focus as an elected leader of the nation.
    The worst case is that his refusal to accept the March 8 election results as the people's rejection of his leadership.
    He still thinks that the people are telling him "Pak Lah! You have a job to do" when in actual fact the people are clearly asking him to pack his bags and leave JPM and Seri Perdana.
    I wonder for how much longer could his continued 'mental disorder' prolong ?
    God please save Malaysia bcoz it seems that a majority of Umno (plus BN)leaders and members are nothing more than soul-less living things.

    p/s Human beings could think and determine what is good and what is not good for our nation and our children.

  24. the intention of aziz tapa is good. give due credit to him. no need to swear to the umno veteran. he has an opinion that should be respected like others who have their own and want it to be respected too. but his idea is not right as the king does not involves himself in politics. the only thing the king could do and within the ambit of his power is to change the prime minister. not because of personalities like tun mahathir whom to some is irrelevant but because how bad the nation is currently administered. like what the thai king did to pm thaksin shinawatra as the people were not happy with his administration.

    Dear brother Rocky,

    I would like to state my displeasure in the manner artchan passed his comment on Tan Sri Aziz Tapa's opinion. I happen to know this grand old man very well and as far as I am concerned, he has not mounted any personal attacks or bad mouthed anybody for that matter, to warrant the manner you term his opinion. This is blatantly kurang ajar.

    Brothers/sisters, in our excitement to share opinions or throw comments, let us not forget to care for our manners, especially in making choice of words to describe something - they reflect our maturity and civilisation. It doesn't cost a single sen to be courteous and polite, am I right?

    Come on Tan Sri is a frail and peace loving statesman. Even if you don’t buy his idea, go ahead, state your opinion but never be crude and condemn him by saying his idea is stupid. I'm sure you'd not like to be called stupid too right. Sorry pal, I believe once a while we need to learn some civics 

    Thanks brother Rocky!

    MB to Mahkota Cheras residents: We're with you
    By WANI MUTHIAH & EDWARD RAJENDRA


    SHAH ALAM: Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim has assured the 38,000 residents of Bandar Mahkota Cheras that the government is with them in their struggle to resolve their access route issue.

    The residents are caught in the middle of a right-of-way tussle between Cheras-Kajang Expressway concessionaire Grand Saga Sdn Bhd and Bandar Makhota Cheras (BMC) developer Narajaya Sdn Bhd.

    Recently, the long suffering residents dismantled the barricades erected by Grand Saga barring them use of a shorter and toll-free route into their housing area.

    Khalid said the matter was between two business entities and it was up them to iron out the issue.

    "As a developer Narajaya believes it has the right to the land while Grand Saga differs in this view and that is why they resorted to closing the road,” he pointed out.

    “Both firms can battle it out in the courts. If Grand Saga is not successful the road will be open, and if Narajaya fails in court the road will also be open, but they would have to pay compensation to Grand Saga,” he added.

    “The tussle between the two firms would go on until it is settled, but in the end the residents will get to use the road.” Khalid, reiterating that the state understood the resident’s plight and would be with them until the issue was resolved, said to date he had however not received any information from Grand Saga, Narajaya or the Works Ministry on their efforts to resolve the issue.

    1. adakah menteri besar selangor menyokong perbuatan penduduk mengambil tindakan sendiri?
    2. mungkinkah perbuatan penduduk didalangi oleh pihak tertentu yang berkepentingan dalam kes mahkamah?
    3. kalau selepas ini ada perkara yang melibatkan kepentingan kerajaan negeri, adalah penduduk/rakyat boleh mengambil tindakan sendiri?

    Dear all,

    1) The suggestion of the Agung getting involved is not a bad idea after all, as it will benefit all parties especially the Rakyat. The question that we should all ask ourselves first is has the need arise that the Agung should get involved just yet.

    2) Let's name call the person who suggested this idea as it is common to have someone who gains the respect of all within a certain group, party, association, race, religion, colour or creed to be called-in to resolve any issues. This even happens in a family at home.

    An example of a stupid idea could be calling Samy Vellu to resolve the issue but it would be perfectly alright if Samy Vellu is called-in to resolve an issue within his own party. The day Malaysia progressess to a Malaysian Malaysia then perhaps we could call Lim Ah Lek to advice someone in MIC.

    Finale;
    The Agong should only get involved without being asked when the time actually persists for it. Eg; At a time when it threatens the bread & butter of the Rakyat. Where Mahathir's spat wit Badawi is concern, it doesn't yet call for such an involvement. But with the deterioration of the Economy and the Institutions of the country including Public Services such as LRT, Taxi Drivers behaviour, etc, etc; the Agong should intervene and advise PM Badawi to step down.
    Believe me PM Badawi is going to mess things further and to a point of no return so to speak.

    Last but not least Malaysia has gone down very badly and another 5 years of Badawi...God knows it will be too late.

  43. MALAYSIA-
    ISLAMIC STATE OF UNITED SULTANATES

    The constitution, a favourite topic for Raja Petra, has it that the kings/sultans have authorities with respect to Islam and Malay adat.

    Is there ANYTHING under the sun which is NOT discussed in Islam? Everything has a place in Islam!The kings even have authorities wrt our wealth since they can get people to check our zakatable properties.

    If everything is related to Islam then the whole of Malaysia is by islamic relationship is under the Agong. Dr M used to say Malaysia is an Islamic State - rightly so but specifically this should be due to being under a United Sultanates represented by the Agong at the federal level and by rajas and sultans at states level.
    It is a tradition which is continuous while organically shifting the administrative centres from the days of early islamic state in melaka to Riau, Aceh, Pahang etc for various reasons.It is not a 5 years affairs of islam being voted in or not like the PAS's islamic state.

    Raja Nazrin used to say that sultanate is part of khaliphate.

    By extension, the Agong has all the rights to go beyond partisan politics and unite Malaysia not based on boxed minds/parties like UMNO, PKR or PAS but based on this place is an islamic state of united sultanates.

    This nation must have a prime minister who must be 'diperkenankan oleh DYMM YDT Agong' and who should be able to unite malaysia since this is a united sultanates.

    We pray that the Agong can put to rest the matter between Pak Lah and Dr M. After all we have seen Perlis, Kedah, Perak, Selangor and Terengganu episodes being settled wisely by the sultans for the good of rakyat. We can't call ourselves rakyat if we don't recognise the Rajas/Sultans.

    If both of them do not know how to come to terms for the benefit of this islamic state of united sultanates, then their royal titles that they got should be stripped from them...and somebody else should be the PM.

    Aziz Tapa adalah veteran UMNO yang dihormati. Pandangannya adalah pandangan orang tua berpengalaman. Mempersoalkan "siapa Aziz Tapa" oleh beberapa orang pembahas di sini adalah tidak wajar.

    Cadangan beliau agak baik dan wajar di pertimbangkan. Macam adik beradik bila bergaduh, emak atau bapa akan meleraikannya. Sama juga halnya di antara Tun dan Pak Lah ni. Eloklah ada pihak ketiga yang mendamaikan mereka.

    Sekiranya kekalutan ini berterusan, yang rugi adalah kita rakyat Malaysia. Kedua-dua mereka betul dan mempertahankan idealogi mereka sendiri. Namun kepentingan negara wajar menjadi keutamaan.

    DYMM YDP Agong berada di dalam kedudukan yang sesuai untuk menasihati kedua-dua mereka. Jadi saya rasa, wajar juga sekiranya Tuanku menasihati kedua-dua pacar berkenaan.

    Untuk perhatian bro..., pacar-pacar hina yang lain pun bukan tidak pernah melibatkan DYMM Tuanku. Perarakan Hindraf dan kempen baju kuning dulu bukan ke cuba melibatkan Tuanku?

    Whether the Agong should intervene or not depends on the sort of intervention and whether this is allowed for by the Constitution, bearing in mind that the matter at hand is one of party politics. The Agong could, of course, voice his discontent, as other Malaysians are entitled to, if His Majesty sees it appropriate (e.g., if His Majesty believes that national security is at stake; but then again, in many countries such as recently in Italy, governments fall and are replaced by another with no security or stability problems at all -- it is all part and parcel of the democratic process). Nonetheless, the Agong's message may be a potent one considering his status. On the same note, it is in the interest of the Agong's stature and influence for His Majesty to be prudent and measured in when and how frequently to speak out or on what to speak out on.

  54. Sdr Rocky's Bru,

    My view on this is simple.

    1. Don't involve the King;

    2. Don't involve the Malay Rulers; and

    3. Don't talk about another Mageran/NOC.

    Why?

    1. We elected our PM. We should be the ones to remove him;

    2. Umno delegates elected him as Umno President. They should be the one to remove him;

    3. If he has honour and wisdom, he should not wait to be thrown out;

    4. It's dangerous to involve people and organisations that are not democratically elected in democaric processes like removing a Prime Minister.

    Thank you.

  55. Satu perkara yang sangat sedih membaca komen-komen posting ini adalah melihat sikap angkuh dan biadap orang muda terhadap orang tua.

    Tan Sri Aziz Tapa adalah orang tua yang mungkin tidak sepandai dan sehebat anda semua kerana dia tidak mempunyai ijazah yang panjang dan mungkin pergi sekolah melayu di kampong.

    Tetapi adakah perlu kita kurang ajar dengan orang tua yang tidak ada berniat jahat melainkan untuk mencari kesejahteraan dan keamanan.

    Kritikan TDM dan kedegilan AAB sudah sampai ketahap dimana MP DAP, Jeff Ooi risau dengan impak kepada ekonomi. Reform yang dibawa oleh AAB tidak menumpukan kepada masaalah kehidupan harian dan mata carian rakyat.

    Agenda AAB melalui Zaid Ibrahim hanya untuk ego Zaid dan tidak membabitkan kesemua rakyat tetapi special interest group. Rakyat biasa tidak terlibat rasuah, masuk mahkamah dan ditangkap polis melanggar undang2.

    Sementang orang seperti Aziz Tapa itu tua, lemah tak kuat dan tidak seijazah, perlu kah kita kutuk dan keji sedemikian rupa? Pemikiran orang tua tidak canggih dan tidak sehebat artikulasi, tetapi jangan diperolokkan kebijaksanaan dari pengalaman mereka.

    Apa perlu kita bersikap kasar dengan seorang tua yang sdha tidak aktif dan pemain lagi tetapi hanya memberi fikiran yang ikhlas. Malah ide itu bukan sesuatu yang bodoh tetapi satu realiti.

    Tun tidak boleh berganjak kerana dia tak sanggup melihat keruntuhan yang dibawa oleh AAB. AAB sudah degil dan tidak mahu menerima hakikat dia tidak diterima rakyat. Dia membawa reform tetapi agenda lainnya masih kekal dengan cara lamanya. Keselamatan. kedaulatan negara dan hal ehwal antarabangsa malah polisi2 pentadbiran kita sudah dicerobohi dan didalangi anasir luar.

    Tun mungkin enggan diajak masuk campur Raja2 kerana beliau tidak mahu budaya feudal dihentikan dari minda Melayu. Namun saranan Aziz Tapa bukan saranan bodoh yang harus dikeji dan dikutuk dengan penuh biadap.

    Entah, mungkin begitulah komentar ini bersikap dan berkelakuan dengan ibu bapa mereka dan orang2 tua.

  58. The Old Man and Darth Vader
    Corroding the system to engage in personal tiff
    One doesn’t show respect the one who made him
    The other forgot how to be an elder statesman

    The marching soldiers spread
    Of ripples in the deep sea
    Silently waving in the calm water
    Of what will happen it let to be seen

    The C4 boys brew their potent juices
    Selling in the market the supporters buy
    Never want to question its logic
    Else they think they get behind

    The Old Man cuts off ties
    He fights on his belief
    The country’s economy and politics
    It is his own creation now he has seen
    The picture he doesn’t like at all

    The Darth Vader walks in his power
    Given to him in a silver platter
    Once he took it he doesn’t want to reciprocate
    He wants to live like king

    The Supreme Ruler can’t intervene
    In his rule he has to be neutral
    He can offer advice in his personal capacity
    To bridge the divide going out of control

    The people watch
    The signs of the frogs
    Jumping out from the pond
    Stake their claims to be the lords

    UMNO is bleeding
    The internal wounds begin to soak in
    Outsiders see it coming
    Only the members and leaders still think arrogantly

    The lies will keep floating
    Until reality sinks into its depth
    The truth about UMNO leaders
    They must know how to go gracefully
    And think about Malaysians
    Not on party, religion and race

    The peoples’ crusaders
    They are marshalling to take over
    The voters had said in GE12
    This year or in the next election

    The spat between TDM and AAB, as you put it, is not personal matter between them, but a grave national issue which involves the state of being of the Malay dominance of the country "others" from across the Straits!
    This "spat" is really between making the "ketuanan Melayu" irrelevant and the non-Malays more, and more and more empowered (it is as though they are not already and it is hogwash to think they are being suppressed or persecuted).

    Bro, ini tak berkenaan dengan topik, tapi harap boleh di siarkan:

    Saya sering ke Slim River dari Petaling Jaya menggunakan NKVE. Toll sudah RM10 dari RM4.50 beberapa tahun lalu.

    Saya lihat banyak kerja 'naik taraf' di laksanakan yang menyusahkan dan mengganggu pengguna lebuhraya. Permukaan jalan dan railing masih elok, saya tak tahu kenapa wang mesti di belanjakan untuk membetulkan dan mengganti yang tak rosak. Terlalu banyak wang kot?

    Atau mungkin kerana akan ada 'review' concession daripada kerajaan nak tunjuk toll operators mesti 'belanja' Atau nak bagi business kepada sub-kontraktor tertentu...

    LDP pula akan dapat 'a cool RM630 million as compensation'...alahai habis lah duit rakyat - kerajaan ini memang kaya.

    Mungkin kita patut tukar slogan dari 'malaysia boleh' ke 'malaysia bodoh'

    Don't drag the Agong to such a low matter and into such a travail issue. It's only big to the UMNOputeras not to the rest of us, Malaysians.

    The Agong is a national symbol, this is only an UMNO family affair - no earth-shattering national issue. Just let the idiots individuals in UMNO slug it out.

    With the demise of UMNO, Malaysia has a chance for a new political stage to start a more healthy political atmosphere. Isn't this what we want, no cause for undue concern!

    It started with the AP issues , the cancellation of Singapore Bridge project as well as
    Abdullah not looking after Mahathir cronis and now the other races get the blame.
    If Mahathir would just really retire and not meddle in affairs not really his because he is muddling up the real issues as you can see in Pasquale's comment.
    abdullah i see is trying hard to put a country in order and cleaning all the shits that mahathir had done in his years.
    just take this - the raping of the the judiciary is just the tip of the iceberg of his undoing.
    Dont point fingers everywhere other you might get burnt. Still for a multi racial UMNO, my setup always remember that and I mean it for that. Set up your own party to do your own lopesided communal and finger pointing business.

    you are one big misguided and confused person i've ever seen..

    i don't think you have any non-malay friends at all in this stage, even if you have one, don't think you know them well enough.

    we are all malaysians and why should we not be entitled to our rights. is it by saying that we have a few powerful non-malays, the rest of us whom some are living in poverty should be ignored? our rights taken away from us? no money no say? and worse of all, we have to give the malays way although it was us who strived hard for something, like education? not only that, what about jobs? being promoted?

    we pay taxes too you know, what makes you bigger than us? not only that, we have to pay a lot of stuff at a higher price than you even for a mere house!
    And you get it for lower than the original price, much lower that is!
    and we have to give a special lot to you even for a damn building, investment,places in university, and etc etc!
    what about scholarship?
    we contributed in the money for the scholarship and where the money goes? mostly to the malays of course even some don't qualify.
    maybe all non-malays should stop contributing to the society and deprive the nation of cash in one go, because oh, we are so powerful and we should be ostracized of our rights!

    want me to go on?

    i think you should reflect yourself first in the mirror before you question us non-malays!
    at least we worked hard for what we have.people like you Pasquale, would make the malays look bad if not worse as it is now. luckily my malay friends are not like you!

    because of such a mentality that you present, racist people still runs rampant, and as such, the nation shall one day fall!

    ==================================

    apart from that, i think Aziz tapa wanted to emulate thailand, where their monarch has the power to settle this kind of issue. however, thailand's monarch has the support of the military, police, judge and people, and they respected their monarchs more than our ex pm and PM or a matter of fact our people. so asking the YDPA to help would be a waste of time because the YDPA would only be a YDPA for a brief moment before another takes over(and we wonder why the monarchs are not respected that much, maybe we should have one permanent YDPA?).

    Pada pendapat saya, ulasan Dato' A. Kadir Jasin mengenai isu ini (sila rujuk di atas) adalah rapi dan menarik. Saya mengajak para pembaca meninjau pandangan beliau.

    Untuk manfaat para pembaca, saya terjemahkan ulasan beliau daripada Bahasa Inggeris kepada Bahasa Melayu.

    Kata beliau,

    1. jangan libatkan Agong;

    2. jangan libatkan raja-raja Melayu;

    3. usah bercakap mengenai perlunya satu lagi NOC/MAGERAN (National Operation Council/Majlis Gerakan Negara) [iaitu, badan yang mentadbir negara selepas rusuhan Mei 1969].

    Mengapa? Kerana,

    1. Kita [iaitu, rakyat] yang telah melantik perdana menteri. Maka rakyat yang harus/berhak menanggalkan beliau.

    2. Wakil-wakil UMNO yang telah melantik beliau sebagai Presiden UMNO. Maka wakil-wakil UMNO yang harus/berhak menanggalkan beliau.

    3. Kalau beliau mulia atau bijaksana, beliau tidak harus tunggu sehingga dilucutkan jawatan;

    4. Penglibatan orang-orang atau organisasi-organisasi yang tidak terlantik secara demokratik dalam proses demokratik seperti penanggalan seorang perdana menteri adalah merbahaya.

    Tony Francis refused to sign OT for 6 reporters. He claims they are buying time sitting on their stories. Two employees brought the matter up with Datuk Ibrahim Noh but as a typical businessman, he claims he is not able to do anything as he has give full authority to his beloved Tony Francis.

    If our beloved Agong is free, could he or his aides look into our predicament as well?

    While the intention is good, we should always bear in mind that Agong is beyond politics. The role of the monarch in Malaysia is different compared to the monarch in Thailand. If we are like Thailand, then Tan Sri Aziz's suggestion has some merit, but we are not. It doesn't work that way here.

    Furthermore, this is an UMNO issue, not between UMNO and some other party in BN.

    If the squabbles are between parties in the coalition (like in Perak after the recent election), then the palace has every right to intervene as it potentially weaken the core structure of the administration.

    In this TDM vs AAB case, the core structure of BN is still solid. The support and degree of confidence from the people are in serious doubt, but BN as a structure is still very much in place.

    It's a big mystery what's in TDM's mind. What he wants, really. During his reign, he had 4 DPMs, two resigned, one was sacked, one passed the test as DPM but failed miserably as PM, there's another one, the current DPM that he had wanted to appoint as his DPM but did not do so, even that one also did not escape his wrath. It tells a lot about his personality, really a lot. And why people in UMNO would still bother about him even now, that's a bigger mystery.

    Just leave that old man alone, he'll eventually get tired when nobody bother him anymore.

    There is validity in the point made by some commenters that this spat between Mahathir and Badawi started when Mahathir figured that he and/or his cronies were losing influence under Abdullah Badawi's administration.

    This is likely to be the underlying motive of Mahathir's relentless war against a non-aggressive Abdullah Badawi.

    However, Mahathir gives us -- the people -- a set of his ostensible reasons for attacking Abdullah Badawi: corruption and ineffective governance, among others. While these may very well be legitimate grouses, Mahathir must remember that these problems existed under his own administration which has simply extended into Abdullah Badawi's administration.

    What is shameful of Mahathir (and shameful to me as a Melayu) is the dirty tactics he is employing in his bid to remove Abdullah Badawi. This includes -- and is not limited to -- his "hasutan" in a speech in Johor about non-Malays trampling on the rights Malays or demanding "too much" rights themselves. In a dramatic bid to gain support for his cause, Mahathir has resorted to slander that can inflame hateful feelings amongst the Malay people.

    A true and ethical leader would not attempt to make political gains at the expense of national harmony by driving a wedge between the peoples of a nation. For a man to go to that irresponsible length, he has to be self-seeking and prideful.

    And we know how in the Quran Allah dislikes prideful characters (57:22-23), much less the selfish and hate-mongers.

  79. I would agree that the Agong should not get involve/ intervene to resolve the battle grandee between PM and Tun.

    His Majesty’s rakyat are being greatly affected but His Majesty should also be .aware that Tun’s message is clear- to let His Majesty’s rakyat decide what’s best for them even within an adverse political climate filled with deceit, intimidation and money politics. Tun is himself under siege and he should be given the freedom to set the stage for the rakyat to determine their fate.

  80. Dato' AKJ dan Sdr Rocky,

    Kaedah Tan Sri Aziz nampak lebih mudah.

    YDP Agong bukan sekadar simbol negara! Mohon diampun, YDP Agong bukan patung negara tetapi Tunjang Negara!

    Adakah Hindraf dan Raja Petra sahaja yang ada akses kepada YDPAgong? Rakyat lain yang tak berpuas hati dengan PM juga ingin mohon izin mengadap Tuanku merakam sembah runsing kerana semakin runcingnya negara.

    YDPAgong adalah non-partisan. Maknanya Baginda tidak terkotak dalam parti.
    Baginda mengatasi kumpulan-kumpulan berparti dan bebas membuat keputusan secara neutral.

    Alhamdulillah itulah yang kita nampak di Perak, Selangor, Kedah, Perlis dan Terengganu baru-baru ini. Para Sultan sudah pun membuat keputusan yang bijaksana tanpa terikat dengan parti. Apa yang dangerousnya Dato AKJ jika mohon sembah hal huru-hara negara kepada Sultan?

    Kalau dah dapat Dato' maknanya Dato' AKJ pun sudah diterima menjadi sebahagian dari orang yang rapat dengan istana -Raja Nazrin kata sudah menjadi sebahagian dari institusi istana. Maka Dato' pun boleh tolong sembahkan perkara untuk kebajikan negara.

    Takkan kita nak sembunyikan huru-hara negara dari pengetahuan istana? Dangerous?

  85. what colour?

    TQ for the comments.

    Anwar from PKR and I guess Nik Aziz from PAS are also aiming to be PM. They are not from UMNO. Anwar seems confident of getting there. Thus now UMNO may not be the criteria anymore to be the PM.

    The Agong by tradition appoints a malay muslim because malaysia is actually an islamic state of united sultanates where many sultanates come together.The tradition of the sultanates started well BEFORE Parameswara but enhanced through Islam by Parameswara becoming a muslim. Of course it has started well before the ballot boxes. The rakyat then became muslims (leaving hinduisme/buddhism) together with the sultans so the tradition of the malay being the sultans and MBs continue but this time the malay MBs must also be a muslim since Parameswara and the sultans after him became muslims.

    But who is a malay? Raja Petra has always asked us to refer to the msia constitution. It says that a malay is one who speaks malay, practice malay customs and a muslim. It does not say about blood type? Easily Guan Eng is 2/3 malay since he can speak malay and know how to dress up like a malay and I guess has no problems with sambal belacan :) If he is a muslim then Nik Aziz will have no problem accepting him as a PM.

    It seems that the definition of a malay is quite simple. To me the malay is just person who has taken up the colour of the place.

    I remember seeing the lady (was in the news) said to be a malay staying in korea but when she came back to see her birth place, I saw her more like the old korean ladies that I always see in korean dramas. Well she ate korean food and speaks korean and looks like a korean. She has absorbed the colour of the place just like water in the glass will takes up the colour of the glass.

    Yes, you are what you eat (and what you speak). I have seen people claiming that they are malays but staying in makkah but with not a word of malay. I can't recognise them as malays but their features and airmuka are more like arabs.

    For that matter even people of arab origins staying in malaysia with now not even a word of arabic on their tounges had a hard time convincing us that they are arabs.

    Wisemen used to say arabic is by the tounges. Can you differentiate arabic blood from that of a malay blood or a jewish blood?

    What colour? All colours - putih kuning, kuning langsat,hitam manis, sawa matang.


    more budu, tempoyak and sambal belacan.
    more non baku BM and more local malay dialects and NO DBP languange imprisonment!

    Your idea of labelling an idea from someone who lived through an era of 'perjuangan' to 'Merdeka' to-date, as stupid is really stupid. He must have weighed the pros and cons before issuing his statement. So I'd say that it is a stupid idea to label another man's opinion as stupid.
