Constitutional Monarchy (Raja Berperlembagaan)


I'm really agreed with Sultan Perak command yesterday in his 81 birthday celebration, about the power of the Rulers which have been seen as not as important as they are. Sultan of Perak Sultan Azlan Shah has expressed his displeasure in no uncertain terms over comments and criticisms expressed by various quarters on the actions he took on Feb 5 over the removal of Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin as the Perak Menteri Besar and the appointment of Zambry Abd Kadir in his place. The political parties has use our own constitutional system for their own benefit and showing their disloyalty and ignore the Ruler's command.

We knew what BN have done to the Rulers (see my previous post) but it doesn't means that PR should follow their step. Today, PR leaders insisted that the Sultan did not follow the standard procedure in Perak Constitution, but who PR are to disagree with him. How long they can fight him when they know they can't win. They just can plead to have another election, but will the Sultan hear them when they let their followers say rude words to the Him. As the Sultan point of view, of course he will not pull back his action, he has such a pride as a Ruler, no such thing as obeying a political party needs although he just barely violate the law. Sigh.. Maybe he just awake from their wealthy life, and realise how useless and powerless he is in Malaysia his own country, beaten by the man-made rules.

For your info, Malaysia is Constitutional Monarchy country means we have Sultan/Rulers but they only act as the symbol of power, authority and government. The true power is on the PM's hands. The ruler's main power is only to approve law made by the Parliament and the Islamic matters over the state, and of course there are other several power which I forgotten.

So I suggest, why not the Members of Parliament alter the Constitution and gives more power political power as well as the power in making decisions, so then no more protestion in their wise action. But of course it won't happen....why? lupikirla sendiri.
