Even worse, most of the time, these self-proclaimed loyalists of royalties are actually doing so because they benefitted from the excesses being committed.
They got contracts, important positions in a conglomerate or even a Menteri Besar post in return for their "loyalty" by taking part in the excesses themselves or tuning a blind eye to all that.
Their behavior will turn off the thinking rakyat, who eventually will rise in rebellion against the establishment, once they can't bear with the excesses anymore.
However, not all who love their Sultan are doing so blindly.
Here is an old posting by my friend Ai in the now mothballed blog BIGCAT
Remembering the good old man of Bukit Serene
It tells the story of a rakyat's love for a Sultan and the true loyalty of a menteri besar for his monarch.
Meanwhile, the Johor's controversial Housing and Property Board Enactment 2014 was passed at the State assembly today.
Some were however still unhappy about the so-called amendments made to its bill which attempted to dilute the perception that the Sultan will still have the real say over the matter.
MB DS Mohamed Khaled Nordin during the PC after the passing of the enactment accused those who criticized the new state law as either not know what they were talking about or confused by what they know about it.
Hello Khaled, if we all got it wrong, why the hell did you need to amend the bill before tabling it at the State assembly today?
Why did you not just rammed it down the people's throat and be done with it?
Okay, let me try to answer those questions for you : It's because only after all the criticisms that you as the menteri besar realized that if the enactment was passed as it was originally intended to be, the likelihood of Sultan of Johor being dragged to court at a later date seems so real.
If that ever happened, you as the menteri besar would have absolutely failed in your duty to protect your Sultan from being placed in such a demeaning spot.
Former minister and senior journalist Zainuddin Maidin posted this in his blog today,
PINDAAN YANG PENTING IALAH MENIADAKAN LANGSUNG PERANAN RAJA - *RAKYAT JOHOR BERKABONG HARI INI.*
Meanwhile, former PM Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad whom I believe is the one who gave many the courage to openly oppose the plan by Khaled's administration to grant executive power to Sultan of Johor today further explained why we need to do so in his latest posting,
THE FEDERAL CONSTITUTION 2
Excerpts :
"It was because the rulers could be so easily persuaded to make wrong decisions that the executive authority was transferred to the elected Government. The Government and its leaders and Parliament were expected to be firm in defending the Constitution and the interest of the people and country. The Prime Minister in particular must be firm and not be swayed by customary adats or deference to the rulers. The rulers are to be paid handsome pensions and may not be involved in business. This was considered necessary because officers tend to defer to the wishes of rulers and would find difficulty in rejecting business propositions by them. There was also the belief that unscrupulous businessmen would make use of the Sultans to get an advantage over others and to bypass rules and policies."
The begining of the totalitarian rule
ReplyDeleteWhy speak against the adat and respect show to our ruler?
DeleteMB K'led talked like a stupid cry baby when he said that those commented did not know what they're talking.
ReplyDeleteMB K'led is getting more and more isolated. That's not a good sign.
Khaled better make full use of his power and time as MB. I don't see him last beyond GE14, regardless whether BN stay in power in Johor or not.
DeleteMr. Khaled Noordin you've just stupidly encumbered yourself for the rest of your short life to the fortunes of conmen and plots of intrique that will take place in the administration of Johor . . . and unfortunately dragging us all down into the mud as well. No thank you.

ReplyDeleteHai annie saya dapat maklumat bahawa kroni-kroni pak lah tidok masih lagi mempunyai kuasa dalam zaman Najib , Isu di johor sekarang ini banyak melibatkan dan dipengaruhi kehendak kroni beliau dan perjanjian dengan singapork dulu . Kalau macam ni pak lah yang terkenal suka tidok wow masih power la, jadi Najib ni apa ya. Saya cuma nak pasti kalau U ada maklumat yang sama . Walaubagaimana pun annie U orang johor harap bersabar , kita tengok samapi tempoh PRU 14 , kalau banyak tanah yang terlepas kepada orang asing di tebus kembali dapat kepada orang melayu johor kira ok la macam MB johor kata dan kita nak tengok kalau 80% harta tanah di JB jadi milik melayu dan orang JB kita syukur pada allah swt dan terima kasih banyak-banyak pada sultan johor , tapi kalau masih buruk macam sekarang malah makin teruk , maka faham -faham la Pulau batu burok dah hilang lepas ni UMNO dan BN pun akan hilang kuasa di Johor . Annie saya dari Kulim Kedah , Keadaan di Pulau Pinang ( banyak saudara mara saya di sana ) keadaan lagi teruk dari JB yang pelik tak ada siapa nak highlight . Ada maklumat mengatakan bnayak dana dari Singapork masuk ke Pulau ini. Banyak penasihat kerajaan singapork sering kelihatan berada di pejabat kerajaan negeri di komtar ini saya dapat maklumat dari kakitangan kerajaan negeri di komtar . Apa yang sedang diusahakan sekarang masih belum di ketahui yang pasti , Singapork sedang berusaha memperluaskan jaringan kawalan meraka , ini masalah negara malaysia sekarang mula dengan pak dol banyak betul nak jadi yes boy asing kalau dengan US kita tak hairan macam anuar peliwat ini dengan Singapork sekangkang kera pun rela jadi pak turut. DAP tak hairan dah memang puak mereka . Ini orang melayu pakai label UMNO pun terhegeh-hegeh tak malu boleh jadi yes man Singaprok. Tak tahu la annie saya kesian dgn Pulau Pinang saya harap kalau apa-apa buruk berlaku akan datang sultan Kedah harus tegas dan bertindak membatalakan pajakan lalu , Harap Tun M masih hidup tapi saya tak yakin sungguh menakutkan , Najib saya rasa tak boleh harap malah semua menteri kanan saya tak harap untuk boleh menganti beliau , Masa mancabar di masa depan.
ReplyDeleteAnon 23:48, do you know what is a fu..ki.g paragraph? Sakit mata baca apa you tulis.
ReplyDeleteSakit mata tak yah baca dude!
DeleteSaya orang Penang dan menetap di sebelah Pulau, apa yang di katakan oleh Anon 23.48 tentang keadaan Penang memang sudah jadi perbualan di sini bagi siapa yang kaki politik , tapi bagi ahli Pas dan Pkr mereka dok syok dengan boria dan cerita dongeng Lim guan Ng . Nak harap Adun Pas dan PKR yang ada dalam kerajaan Pulau Pinang saya rasa lebih baik kita pi pekena nasi kandak dengan yahudi mabok lagi bagus kerana dia kenai orang dan boleh belanja kita , Puak Pas dan PKR yang ada dalam kerajaan Pulau Pinang ini macam tak ujud kadang-kadang rasa mereka ini macam tongkol kayu dalam DUN. Harap Syed akhbar ali boleh highlight dalam blog dia macam annie pasai johor . Ini asyik ostad bodoh , Club of doom negeri sendiri macam nak hilang dari Malaysia.
ReplyDeleteYes yes yes my friends. In other mean the foreign base owned property developers today is under protected by the sultanate and we can do nothing about it because of it's sovereign status. If we still want to take legal action against this foreign company that's mean we are dragging Johor sultan in this matter as well.
ReplyDeleteThis is pathetic! MB Kaled is the weakest MB in the history of Johor. I blame UMNO as well, PM shouldn't appointing someone incompetent. Tell me what the most significant thing he does since appointed as new MB? ........... Bullshit bullshit bullshit!

You mean umno all nato. You Shame ketuanan melayu!

ReplyDeletere , MB DS Mohamad Khalid Nordin ,during PC after passing the enactment ,accused those criticized the new state law as either not know what they talking about of confused by what the know about it.
The Rakyat Johor ( Malay) will be watching, will the new enactment do much goods to them as they suggested to be , the Rakyat will decide .
and for your Chinese business associates, Confucius says:

"Hold faithfulness and sincerity as first principles."

Ada khabar sebalik tabir megatakan pembeli rumah perlu membayar levi kepada orang-orang tertentu. Macamana lah orang melayu nak mampu nak beli rumah. Kalau melayu dah pupus, siapa yang nak undi BN. Besar kemungkinan lepas PRU14, Khaled akan jadi ketua pembangkang di DUN Johor.
