Shrewed Najib, now he is saying that it was the Perak Sultan's decision to install the new BN government in the silver state. A number of top UMNO leaders such as Rafidah Aziz, Muhyiddin Yassin, and Dr Mahathir Mohamad have crititicized the PR leaders for going against the Sultan's order to vacate the state government.
Dr M said, “Ethically, it is not good, but lawfully, nothing can obstruct a person from suing (the Sultan).” I have said earlier what is legal may not be democratic or moral. I believe Dr M's advice should be shared by all, including the Perak Royalty.
We are begining to see something more serious than a mess created out of the unconstitutional dismissal of the democratically elected PR government of Perak. Numerous groups, associated with UMNO, are trying to push the responsibility to the Perak Royalty and pledging their support for the monarch. This is a classic art of diversion.
It is fair to say that the main fault lies in UMNO and its practice of corrupt politics. This is a fact acknowledged by its own top leaders including Dr M. The fact that ex-DAP Hee might be given an exco seat is a clear evidence of corruption. She was earlier not happy because she was not made an exco by the PR government.
Perak Sultan should not be the main focus of the protestors anger and brunt. His Royal Highness acted in accordance to his interpretation of the constitution. Since the constitution is the highest law of the country, not Dr M or any individual, it is not unethical or wrong to challenge the decision at the highest court. If it is unethical, Dr M would have long been banished under the ISA for taking away the immunity enjoyed by the royalty. Instead, his action was lauded and helped to ensure no one is above the law.
Hence, Umno Youth's planned rally to support the constitutional monarchy is hypocritical. This action was decided when it was obvious that only UMNO is going to benefit from this rally.
Moreover, Perak Youth Council wants action under the Internal Security Act (ISA) be taken against DAP chairman Karpal Singh for allegedly jeopardising the country’s security.
Malaysian Insider has warned that any attempt to paint the PR as anti-Malay and anti-royalty could "...inject an element of race into an already polarised political climate."
UMNO is trying to divert the attention away from its unscrupulous and undemocratic political coup in Perak. It is obvious that the party is not sincere in defending the Perak Royalty but saw this as an opportunity to divert the blame to the monarch.
Many Malays still love their sultans. This feudal relationship is ingrained in their social culture. As such, UMNO is again playing with communal fire.

The Jelapang Hee Hong frog will not survive the assault by her voters, just watch...and she will regret for life.
She thinks, she is Lee Lam Thai but sorry frog.
My prayer that Jelapang voters will rise and eat this frog.
what else UMNO knows, except racism and corruption?
And they are backed by equally corrupt MCA, Gerakan and MIC.
UMNO is diverging the whole nation from the REAL problem - the economy is in real deep shit! They can't handle it, don't know how to handle it and probably not willing to put the money into it. They just want to keep money to themselves while everyone else starves. So they kill 2 birds with 1 stone, grab the state first and create confusion among the people. It's ok when things get out of hand, the will declare emergency and rule with an iron fist. What economic problem?? It's heading the way of racial problem, that they can 'solve'.
Only stupid (especially Indian/Malays) still support feudalism.
And this sudden show of support for constitutional monarchy from the same people who once called the Trengganu Sultan an animal. What hypocrites!
Throughout our history, if there is anyone manipulating the Royals and bringing their name into disrepute, it is UMNO.
They are doing it once again right now. Shameless people will do anything to cling on to power.
This strategy is known to the Chinese as "Borrow another guy's sword to kill".
They now run behind the ruler and use him as the champion, claiming DERHAKA (Treason) which is more legitimate than ISA.
Whole exercise is not only to draw people's attention from their corrupt and unethical practices but also to draw away attention from the federal government (comprising many unqualified guys) to deal with the current and future economic crisis.
If they put up that turncoat Hee as Exco, it's not only corrupt and unethical, but emphasize what i am saying: Putting up unqualified people in positions, e.g. office boy, railway gatekeeper, postman, pensioner, pasar malam trader and now clerk, in positions to decide the nation's future.
No wonder RM is so much discounted against SGD, the currency of a country without the natural resources we enjoy but squandered and mismanaged in this country.
ATTENTION PAKATAN RAKYAT SUPPORTERS!!!
How stupid can you guys/gals be??? I assume GOD forgive to give you fellas something called BRAINS!!!
Goodness sake, you monkeys had been tricked by the sweet talking & empty promises of Pakatan Rakyat. That's why you wankers naively voted against BN in the G.E.
It's still NOT too late to wake up from your mistakes. Start supporting the mighty BN now!!!
Have you noticed that those who manage to cover themselves completely in filth, like dogs rolling around in roadkill, never seem to notice their own stench? Otherwise, how does one explain why Umno members are so thick-skinned & utterly blind to their own leaders' evil deeds & dishonest ways?
Please allow me to go through a time tunnel - past and future.
Barisan Nasional originated from Parti Perikatan which officially came into existance in 1955. So, as it is now, BN is 54 years old.
How long more BN will exist? Do you all believe that it will last till eternity? Definitely no.
BN will inhale its last breath latest by March 2013. That is the year it turn 58!!! That is the retirement age of government servants in Malaysia. And we Malaysians will ensure that BN and its component parties will retire by then.
From now till the next general elections, please allow them the luxury to dig their own grave.
Sad day for perakian indeed....imagine having frogs as your wakil rakyat....
I have said before and I say it again - this country belongs to the Malays, we immigrants should just leave them with their own way of life
In every crisis there lies an opportunity and maybe the decision was made to give perakians a chance
to earn some money. If you have any
spare cash try buy-up some Gamuda
shares, I am sure you will be in for some profits come april 2009.
Project for double-tracking will
then run smoothly.
When did BN ever have a majority over PR in Perak? The score is 28-28. The other 3 are INDEPENDENTS. Only in the game of cards can these 3 JOKERS be in their favour. But the irony here is that " ORANG YANG BERUGAMA ISLAM TAK DIBERNAKAN MENJUDI" The "DACING" needs high time calibration! Since 308, the RAKYAT's voice has vanished over thin air. UMNO has become more arrogant and this time overide the people's mandate and the State Constitution. The economy is ailing. But these selfish politician put self interest, greed and power craze over everthing else. Is this what a leader of a country is trying to show the young as a role model?
Errrr???? Sorry I disagree with you that HRH should not be the focus of the crisis in Perak.

it is mind boggling that umno still can not see nor feel the pulse of the people up to now. using the royalty to deflect the uproar they have caused? what make them think it will work? the dejection of the people in the perak eventis real and sincere, no amount of sloganeering can erase it.
it's just UMNO's way of manipulating everything to their benefit. nothing is sacred with UMNO..but the sad part is that they dont seem to realise it, when the rest of Malaysia already sees it...
china believe in commies and Malays believe in Feudalism , so what?
