In theory, these 10 positions have been merely rite with no comparison manager powers. In practice, however, a 10 Monarchs swing some-more energy than we think. And if a Sultan can sequence a troops to catch his own hermit as well as a troops will comply (read a headlines item below) do we not consider which a Rulers can sequence a troops to do what they feel is indispensable for this country?

(The Star) - A dipsomaniac was shaken out of his faint when his mentally ill subsequent door subsequent door subsequent door subsequent door neighbour attacked him with a machete.
The subsequent door subsequent door subsequent door subsequent door neighbour approached a male who was sitting outward his residence in Cheras as well as celebration yesterday afternoon.
The subsequent door subsequent door subsequent door subsequent door neighbour attacked a man, injuring him upon a head.

*********************************************
Neighbour 1: "I suspicion we pronounced we do not splash any more."
Neighbour 2: "I don't. we splash usually a same volume as we regularly drink. we do not splash any some-more than usual."
Neighbour 1: "That's equates to we do not splash any less either then."
Neighbour 2: "No, we do not splash any less, yet we additionally do not splash any more."
Neighbour 1: "Aiyah. You ni dah mabuk lah!"
Neighbour 2: "Ah, yes, yet tomorrow we will be solemn whilst we will still be"
And which was when subsequent door subsequent door subsequent door subsequent door neighbour 1 attacked subsequent door subsequent door subsequent door subsequent door neighbour 2 with aparang. And what would a dignified of this story be? The dignified of a story is: never disturbance with a mad chap. When they remove a evidence they will review to violence. And this is what we crop up to be seeing in Malaysia of late. Malaysian governing body is hovering around a fringes of violence. It is not which critical yet. It is still usually splashing of red paint, violation of windscreens, throwing of stones, sparring as well as cuts as well as bruises upon a face, etc. But afterwards which is how it all starts, isn't it so?
Tempers have been rising. People have been commencement to concede a suppressed feelings of disappointment to surface. Both sides feel which a 13th General Election is a final lap which will determine who is going to take energy come cooking time of Polling Day. It is right divided or never. Hence a entrance ubiquitous choosing has to be an no holds barred race where leader takes all as well as crook loses all.
And this is why a ante has been upped. In a complement where leader takes all as well as crook loses all, there is no margin for compromise. It is an all or zero situation. And if we wish all rather than nothing, afterwards we need to quarrel tooth as well as spike to win because losing cannot be an option.
Have we may be forgotten a strange objective of a ubiquitous election? Why do we even have a ubiquitous choosing in a initial place? The intention of a ubiquitous choosing is to concede a people (citizens) to sequence themselves. This is opposed to a old monarchy complement where a Ruler manners over a people.
In a monarchy system, energy is hereditary. Basically, God decides who manners over you. And God creates this preference through a successors of a Ruler (in Islam calledCaliph). Hence a peopl! e have n o preference as to who manners over them given a preference is in a hands of God.
Since afterwards a complement has changed somewhat. For Malaysia which would be August 1957 -- as well as about 100 years earlier for Europe as well as 200 years earlier for a US. Malaysia has what we call a Constitutional Monarchy. That equates to a people get to select who they wish to sequence over them with a Monarchy being basically a equates to to maintain a small checks as well as balances.
That is in theory, of course. But is this how it functions in practice? Actually, in use anything goes. The Sultan can banish a dentist who was late going to a house as well as a dentist can be escorted out of a state immediately. The Sultan can refuse a preference of Chief Minister (Menteri Besar) if he does not similar to a chap. The Sultan can sequence a apprehension of his own hermit as well as mother.
In short, a Rulers can do quite a lot, distant over what their powers underneath a Constitution allow.
Is this legal? Well, if a Ruler does something distant over what a Constitution allows afterwards of course it is not legal. But who is going to disagree with a Sultan? The OCPD? The CPO? The IGP? The Minister of Home Affairs? The Prime Minister?
Technically, a troops or supervision can refuse a Sultan. In practice, no a single wants to be a mouse which bells a cat. Hence, in practice, a Sultan can sequence a troops to flog we out of a state if His Highness does not similar to a colour of your shirt. And a troops will do usually which yet arguing with a Sultan which this movement is not allowed underneath a law.
Now, a troops take orders from a government, mainly a Minister. The military, however, have a opposite chain of command.
Have we noticed which most times it is a Colonels who conduct troops coups? Well, which is because most times a Colonels have been a Camp Commanders as well as a troops has been trained to take orders fro! m their Commanders. Hence a Colonels take assign of a troops coups as well as they can even sequence a detain or execution of a generals.
Now, a British, in their wisdom, have done all a 9 Rulers a Colonels-in-Chief of a assorted branches of a armed forces. And a Agong is a Commander-in-Chief of a Armed Forces. Hence we have 9 Colonels-in-Chief with a single Commander-in-Chief who is additionally a Supreme Head of a Federation.
In theory, these 10 positions have been merely rite with no comparison manager powers. In practice, however, a 10 Monarchs swing some-more energy than we think. And if a Sultan can sequence a troops to catch his own hermit as well as a troops will comply (read a headlines item below) do we not consider which a Rulers can sequence a troops to do what they feel is indispensable for this country?
In theory, a 9 state Rulers have been ostensible to action upon a advice of a Chief Ministers (Menteris Besar) whilst a Agong is ostensible to action upon a advice of a Prime Minister. But can we be positive which this will regularly be a case?
Let us look during a hypothetical situation. Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak seeks an audience with a Agong to ask a retraction of Parliament. At a same time, a 9 Menteris Besar additionally seek an audience with a 9 state Rulers to ask accede to disintegrate a 9 State Assemblies. And a 3 Chief Ministers in Penang, Melaka, as well as Sabah additionally do a same (but with a Governors of a States).
Parliament as well as a 12 State Assemblies (except Sarawak) have been afterwards dissolved.
Technically, there is no longer a supervision as well as Malaysia is headed by a caretaker Prime Minister. The nation is run by a polite use whilst a Elections Commission (SPR) takes assign of a sovereign as well as state elections as well as is responsible to a Rulers.
Yes, a polite use is right divided using a nation with SPR using a elections. And a State Secretaries will 'rep! ort' to a state Rulers whilst a KSN will 'report' to a Agong. The SPR conduct will additionally 'report' to a Agong. And a troops will be upon standby in box a Rulers decide which an Emergency needs to be spoken because of a relapse in law as well as order.
So we see, even yet in speculation a position of a Constitutional Monarchs is purely ceremonial, in use they essentially have some-more energy than we think. And whilst we may disagree which Malaysia's complement does not concede a troops takeover with a Monarchs streamer an Emergency government, who is going to go face a Rulers to disagree with them?
Did not Chairman Mao say which energy comes out from a tub of a gun? So, in whose hands have been these 250,000 or so guns? And if a stream splashing of red paint, violation of windscreens, throwing of stones, sparring as well as cuts as well as bruises upon a face, etc., escalates to something some-more critical similar to which box of a mentally ill chap slicing his dipsomaniac subsequent door subsequent door subsequent door subsequent door neighbour with aparang,do we consider a Rulers will usually turn divided as well as do nothing?
we consider we should cool our tempers a bit. We have been currently usually hovering around a fringes of violence. But it takes very small to pierce from a fringes in to a centre. The right (or wrong) words as well as a cheering compare can turn in to a melee.
we have tried, again as well as again, to caution we readers ofMalaysia Todayto tinge down a rhetoric a bit. we know when we can post insults during a behind of a confidence of your computer yet having to exhibit your identity everybody can be brave. And we see most 'brave' readers posting comments inMalaysia Todaybecause they need not exhibit themselves.
But in a future a derisive as well as insults will quit to a aloft level. And when which happens it will be as well late to behind down. Elections should be about a people cho! osing wh o they wish to sequence over them for a subsequent 5 years. But when it is reduced to a turn of a single race (or religion) 'fighting for survival' opposite another, afterwards governing body takes upon a total new dimension, which we consider most Malaysians would not wish to experience.
Kerana mulut, badan binasa.Always recollect that. Don't test a resolve of a Rulers to end this stream madness called 'Malaysian domestic culture'. It is not a kind of culture we will enjoy seeing. And as has been proven in most alternative countries, once we adopt this culture it is very formidable to turn behind a clock. Wounds do not heal so simply as well as grudges can be retained over most generations, again, as has been proven in most alternative countries.
