Double Talk....Again

When the Agong rejected PM Badawi's choice as Terengganu Chief Minister, he was accused as acting unconstitutionally, and this were the choice of words from the PM and his supporters ;

“Most of the state assemblymen support Datuk Seri Idris. This fact remains unchanged. They are in agreement. Therefore, appointing anyone else is not right constitutionally" - PM Badawi

"The palace has to accept Barisan Nasional's decision as it is in accordance with our constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democratic system" - UMNO vice president Ali Rustam

Later on, the Pakatan Rakyat now runs into problems with Perak Ruler, and DAP vice chairman repeats what PM Badawi said earlier, that the Ruler has acted unconstitutionally. Here is where the fun begins when the BN wolves smells blood and start attacking. Here below is their attack ;

"So the power or decision made by His Royal Highness the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Azlan Shah, was in line with the decision made by the government. It cannot be disputed" DPM Najib (source)

"This strong anti-Sultan sentiment is the real trait of the DAP, and it can no longer hide its true self. The DPMP award received by Ngeh should be withdrawn because of his attitude in challenging the Sultan’s call" - Zahid Hamid, UMNO leader ( read more about him here ) (source)


The REAL issue now here is of course ;

1. Royalties are being used as pawns by UMNO led BN to hit at opposition parties.
2. Non-Malays ( such as Karpal ) are being used as bogeyman to create a climate of fear among
the rural malays, to indirectly strengthen UMNO influence over them. Utusan Malaysia's
headline yesterday screamed "KARPAL PERSOAL SULTAN".
3. Royalties are increasingly flexing their muscles.
