It is an episode about a group minority with borrowed majority support that was entrusted to form the Federal Government and manage Malaysia, but instead tried to manipulate the Crown to invoke what is provided in Federal Constitution, for the former’s political expediency.
The Government 0 – The Crown and Rakyat 1
It was a nail biting and the second week in 2020 for the nation which had almost everyone very anxious about the nation’s state of affairs since Cabinet unanimously decided to have an audience and ‘advice’ His Majesty Seri Paduka Yang DiPertuan gong XVI on 23 Oct 2020.
Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Mohd Yassin, his Cabinet and senior National Security Council officials namely the Attorney General, Chief of Defence Forces, Chief Secretary to the Government (ex-officio of the Cabinet), Inspector General of Police and Director General of Health Services arrived at Istana Abdul Aziz, Kuantan, Pahang at 1640hrs 23 Oct 2020 to ‘Advise’ His Majesty SPB YDP Agong XVI to assent the instrument with provided in the Federal Constitution for Emergency under Article 150(1).
On 1430hrs Sunday 25 Oct 2020 Brother Rulers HRHs Malay Sultans assembled at Istana Negara and had a meeting to discuss His Majesty SPB YDPA XVI’s audience of Friday evening with the Government.
At around 1800hrs, the nation felt relieved as the official communique of Istana Negara released a Titah that His Majesty SPB YDP Agong XVI opined there is urgent need to declare Emergency and the Government should heighten their efforts to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic.
His Majesty SPB YDP Agong XVI also wanted that all politicians come through and ensure that the proposed Budget 2121 to be tabled in Parliament in a few days is passed, so that the nation could move forward.
Simply put, Prime Minister Muhyiddin walked with this tail wagging between the hind legs.
In the minds of many if not majority of Malaysians, this is the first time a major ‘Advice’ by the Prime Minister and Cabinet is turned down by the Crown, acting for the interest of the Rakyat.
That took a big shot of the Prime Minister’s arm that left a hole in the temple. Prime Minister Muhyiddin’s statement is unbefitting of a Dato’ Seri Bendahara in His Majesty’s court.
Even under termendous pressure, the Prime Minister Office which is equipped with a Protocol Section ought to be sensitive on how to officially respond, which is shared with the public.
The Raja knows what the Rakyat wants. First, the Raja acted swiftly to defuse an anxiety feeling amongst the Rakyat. Secondly, Prime Minister Muhyiddin has clearly opted a political solution over the welfare of the Rakyat, which include how they feel.
If Prime Minister Muhyiddin no longer enjoy the ‘borrowed support’ by BN MPs, clearly in subliminal message imbedded in the ‘Ceasefire’ statement by UMNO President Dato Sri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi dated 21 October 2020 and the Rakyat ‘feel good’ factor when Prime Minister Muhyiddin provided at the beginning on the nation’s experience weathering through the Covid-19 pandemic, 18 March 2020.
Now, it is without a doubt Prime Minister Muhyiddin who is in power due to borrowed support of BN MPs, should have the dignity to resign and allow another MP to be invited by His Majesty to form the Federal Government as Prime Minister IX.
As he leaves, his Press Officers should be sacked too for sublime disrespect of His Majesty SPB YDP Agong XVI and the Crown.
It is time for His Majesty SPB YDP Agong XVI to invite the BN Chairman Dato Sri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and MP for Bagan Dato’, for a chin-wag.
