Apparently Ahmad Said will start his job as Terengganu MB regardless (Malaysiakini).
My opinion on this issue:
1. The Sultan should have accepted Idris Jusuh. He commands the support of the majority of BN ADUNs. But there is no point discussingthis now because the Sultan has decided to stick to his (royal highness) gun.
2. Those parties that are supporting the Sultan should remember that this case is setting a precedence. What if in the future a Sultan does not like the state head of PAS or DAP or PKR?
3. And, somehow, I have a feeling that someone else, a third person, will be the beneficiary of this crisis. If the PM and the Sultan want a compromise, they would choose someone other than both Ahmad and Idris. I wonder who that might be?
5. And, why in the world does the PM not go and talk to the King?
Hmmmm….. will direct election of PM and MBs solve the problem?
Bro, I do agree on direct election of PM and MBs. But as you know, the question of Hak dan Ketuanan Melayu will rise again..hurm..
Assalamualaikum
I agree but this is not easy .. I assumed you guys are talking about electing MB and PM through voting .. like US Presidential election ..
however, I am confident that Idris has done something very bad to the rakyat and Istana that the Sultan doesn’t want him to take the lead
and I am sure that the Sultan and his advisory board have their own plan to ‘clean’ terengganu leaderships.. and this ‘controversial’ way may work .. we’ll wait and see
therefore, Sultanate function in choosing the best MB is still relevant as long as BN still involved in corruption
Why not we elect the rulers instead?
Let those tengkus struggle in lobbying the rakyat jelata to get their way to the throne. Wouldn’t that sounds more ‘democratic’?
Yeah, chose the MB using democratic way, ie the majority rule, even though they win using undemocratic way. … What kind of thinking is this?
What’s next? Let the student can kick their teacher’s ass because majority of the student say so.
Understand the issue as a whole, not just bit and pieces.
