443354 People Must Feel Cheated Right Now
February 5, 2009
In the 12th General Elections last March, the people of Perak chose to kick Barisan Nasional out of power in Perak. Unfortunately, the majority voices were sidelined when the Sultan of Perak, DYMM Sultan Azlan Shah refused to dissolve the state assembly, paving the way for Barisan Nasional to reclaim power.
Here is why I think the Sultan actions have shown that he might not be acting in the people’s best interest:
1) On March 8th 2008, 443354 (53%) people voted for Pakatan Rakyat in Perak, while 400682 (47%) people voted for Barisan Nasional. The Sultan is indirectly telling 53% of us in the state to live under a state government that we did not elect.
2) Instead of affirming BN’s majority in the state assembly via a no confidence vote against the sitting MB, Mohd Nizar Jamaluddin, the Sultan has basically asked the Menteri Besar and the entire state exco to tender their resignations immediately, or their post will be declared vacant. Whether or not this is legal under the Perak Constitution, I am not certain.
3) Has the Sultan gotten reports from the ground that the people of Changkat Jering, Behrang, Bota, and Jelapang still agree that the people representing them in the state assembly is still who they want, after what has transpired?
4) The haste in which the Sultan is swearing in the new Menteri Besar is shocking as well (according to some rumors, it is actually happening right as I am typing this now), without even bothering to wait for the decisions in the court on whether the resignation letters of the ‘independent’ assemblypersons were valid or otherwise.
The right thing to do was to let the people decide again. Instead, with the powers vested in the Sultan to do the right thing, I can only say he dropped the ball on this one.
The Sultan has lost the respect of many of his subjects today, me included.
I shall end here now, because the grapes are tasting real sour, but suffice to say, me and 443353 other people will be feeling disappointed and angry today.
Daulat Tuanku, and if it’s any consolation, I think the best thing to do is still to allow the state assembly to be dissolved and power to be returned to the people, if it is not too late already.

I feel you bro.
I hate to see Perak in such state. Meanwhile, you can post something on Buku Pelawat on http://sultan.perak.gov.my page. I’m not sure whether tu Sultan reads it or not.

Insyaallah justice will be done. Rakyat Perak will never forget what the royalty have done. Allah has shown us the true character of our royalty. 443354 people will surely seek justice from King Of All King Allah SWT in the hereafter and I definitely don’t want to be in his shoes when Allah SWT question him then. Good luck in trying to seek forgiveness from 443354 Perakian on the day of judgement!!!!

Javanese (Malay) values are not compatible with Islamic values. The informed and educated know this well. So does PAS, though they will not admit it openly.

Maybe Indonesia should invade the fake country called Malaysia, throw out the government and corrupted system including the monarchy, and call it the straits settlements of various races and religions from all over the world, especially Asia.
We would be more developed, diverse, strong and cosmo compared to Australia if the British had done a HK on us.
The current system, rules, constitution and rukun negara were just put in place by UMNO to prolong their (fake and manipulative concept of) Malay Elite dominance, which is in actuality only for UMNOputra dominance; and to allow their divide and conquer tactics and methods to fester and disunite.
Ketuanan UMNO boleh! People deserve the government they get! Time for the people to rise and rebel!

Many Perakians are angry
They feel they got cheated
In democracy of using our tax money
To play the dirty game right in our faces
I am one of them
Though I stay in town of a university
Voting in the Perak state
Though I came from Klang Valley
The Sultan of Perak
With his experience and his writings
In just one stroke of his pen
He changes his value and the course of Perak history
During his reign on his silver jubilee
Under the Perak Constitution
The sultan can appoint chief minister
He can’t dismiss or call for his resignation
It is only through the state assembly
Passing a vote of no confidence
Can a sitting chief minister be dismissed
As a learned judge and former Lord President
He didn’t follow the principle that the aggrieved party
He has the right to defend his position
In my view the sultan didn’t follow the state constitution
Now UMNO goons spin
When the sleeping beauty disobeyed the Agung in Terengganu
There was silence from UMNO
This is politics spinning game of top
Now UMNO felt good
Perak it got back through the back door
You know about shit…….
The smell will not go away
In a way Pakatan gets the free publicity
The leaders of Pakatan have to learn and plan strategies
The main prize is Putrajaya
The road to glory
It isn’t easy
