Perak Is In Constitutional Crisis

In the recent development of political crisis in Perak, I for once, feel very sad of all the things occured in this state. I seriously feel betrayed by my own Sultan which I thought this institution can be the rakyat saviour, instead has become an instrument to deny the will of rakyat. The Sultan's institution should portray impartiality in dealing with such issue and absolute understanding of the rule of law.



No one is above the law, as so does the Constitution say. However, I truly understand that under certain provisions the Sultans are spared some special rights due to their positions. I honestly feel that HRH Sultan Azlan Shah must have understood these contentions due to his professional background. However, I am a firm believer that the Sultans must put the interest of the people first before their own interest as we all know that the Sultans are the head of the states. Hence, HRH Sultan Azlan Shah should and by right, oblige to the request made by the CM Dato Seri Mohammad Nizar to dissolve the DUN and subsequently to hold a snap election.

The issue of validity of the resignation letters does not warrant the Election Commission the right to stall its due process. By law, the EC must comply with the request of the Speaker of DUN because only through the Speaker of DUN, all the issue of validity of these damned letters must be resolved beforehand. Therefore through this event, we have seen that the EC, again and again, has seemed to act in favor of the ruling party. It is a clear violation of the objective of its establishment.

I have lost respect to the most admirable HRH Sultan Azlan Shah and to the royalties as a whole. They are nothing more than useless institution, sponsored and subsidized by the sweat of rakyat, only to act dumbly and stupid and cowardly.



I call upon my fellow rakyat out there to continue supporting Dato Seri Mohammad Nizar for his quest to serve the rakyat in Perak. I salute you Dato Seri for acting courageously in his capacity as Menteri Besar of Perak, Chief of Executive body of the state.
