Of late, it is not too much 'civilised' cases occurred in the Peninsula, especially and this involved the higher authority. But these people, whether the 'respected' or 'not-being-respected' should know that their position is not borne but given by the colonial government. Thus this can be done away as history from China to the latest Nepal can be a sign of it.
We are paying to much for this so called the 'heaven' sons and daughters.
Looking at our neighbour south, what it is having now, do we need that system to benefit the people or certain groups of people.

Don’t be rude, says Sultan of Selangor
KLANG: The Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah Alhaj is deeply saddened and disappointed over the disputes relating to the recent appointment of the new Perak state government to the extent of displaying rudeness to the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Azlan Shah.
“Political developments, instances of street demonstrations and disputes between various parties, relating to the recent appointment of the new Perak state government, to the extent of displaying rudeness to the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Azlan Shah, have saddened and disappointed me.”
He said this in a special press statement entitled “Affirmation Regarding the Political Turmoil in Perak Darul Ridzuan”, which was released from Istana Alam Shah, here.
In a three-page statement, the Sultan of Selangor advised the people who challenged the rights, role and position of the Rulers, which were enshrined in the Federal Constitution, to think carefully and evaluate deeply the consequences before taking any action.
“I hereby wish to advise with the utmost sincerity by taking into consideration the future of the religion, Malaysian nation and our beloved country. Please do not be misled by actions and behaviours that will only disgrace our integrity, invite high risks to our process of progress, and eradicate the foundations of national sovereignty through the display of rudeness, treachery, arrogance, ignorance in knowledge and lust for power,” the Sultan said.
Sultan Sharafuddin said the fact that the Sultan of Perak was his uncle and that both Royal families of the two states had a long-standing historical relationship added to his sadness and disappointment.
He said he knew Sultan Azlan as a very knowledgeable person with vast experience in the legal service and judiciary, appropriate with his former position as the Lord President.
Sultan Azlan and his family also had distinguished educational credentials and qualifications and were always sensitive to the needs of the people to the extent that most of his actions were based on a knowledge of culture, holistic considerations and principle of consensus with experts on the relevant issues, Sultan Sharafuddin said.
“What we have seen and (are) still seeing for the past week in Perak has prompted concern among those who care so much for their religion, race, country, stability, wellbeing, civilisation, security and our future together,” he said.
“In light of this occurrence, we now know which is glass, which is diamond. In fact, we could now understand the truth inside those people who ‘burn the net out of anger with the mosquito’,” he said.
Sultan Azlan appointed Datuk Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir as the new Perak Menteri Besar on Feb 6 when the coalition government comprising the DAP, Parti Keadilan Rakyat and PAS lost the majority in the State Legislative Assembly, and this had caused dissatisfaction among the leaders and supporters of the coalition.
As a result, supporters of the coalition held street demonstrations near Istana Iskandariah, Bukit Chandan, Kuala Kangsar to the extent of obstructing the car of the Raja Muda of Perak, Raja Dr Nazrin Shah.
In addition, former Perak menteri besar Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin was reported to have disagreed with the Sultan of Perak when his request for the dissolution of the State Legislative Assembly did not get the Royal consent while DAP chairman Karpal Singh had incurred the anger of many people following his intention to sue Sultan Azlan Shah on the matter.
Sultan Sharafuddin said the increasingly worrying situation at the global and regional levels warranted the people to strengthen unity despite their differing viewpoints.
“There are times when we can retract statements that were wrongly said, but these are precarious times where wrongful action can lead to disastrous consequences.
“I pray to Allah the Almighty to place us in his loving care, and continue to shower us with a clear heart, peaceful soul, wiser thoughts, easier path, the right actions, harmonious relationship and strong self belief to manage the country together in facing future progress of our nation,” the Sultan of Selangor said. — Bernama
Special press statement by the Sultan of Selangor
AFFIRMATION REGARDINGTHE POLITICAL TURMOIL IN PERAK DARUL RIDZUANPolitical developments, instances of street demonstrations and disputes between various parties, relating to the recent appointment of the new Perak state government, to the extent of displaying rudeness to the HRH Paduka Seri Sultan Perak, Sultan Azlan Shah, have saddened and disappointed me.
The fact that HRH Paduka Seri Sultan Perak is my uncle (Sultan Azlan Shah’s father is my grandmother’s brother) adds to such sentiment.
In fact, both Royal families of these two states have a longstanding historical relationship that, till today remains strong as ever.
HRH Paduka Seri Sultan Azlan Shah whom I know is a very knowledgeable person with vast experiences in the legal and judiciary, appropriate with His Royal Highness’ former position as the Lord President of the Supreme Court (as it was then called).
His Royal Highness and the Royal family also have distinguished educational credentials and qualifications and further are always sensitive to the needs of the people so much so that most of His Royal Highness’ determinations were all based on a knowledge culture, holistic (Syumul) considerations and consensus (Musyawarah) principle among the learned and experts suitable to them in any relevant issue.
What we have seen and are still seeing for the past week in Perak has prompted a concern among those who care so much for their religion, race, country, stability, well-being, civilisation, security and our future together.
Ignorance of the provisions of the State and Federal laws, extreme partiality for certain quarters, loss of self control when emotions were disturbed, arrogance which blinded them from the rights and powers of HRH Paduka Seri Sultan Perak, the rudeness as subjects of the State of Perak and citizens of Malaysia, and their easiness in being influenced by the “mob” culture, are very disheartening and deeply embarrassing.
In light of this occurrence, a Malay proverb goes, “barulah kita kenal siapa kaca, siapa permata” (Now we know which is glass, which is diamond).
In fact, now we could understand the truth inside those people who “marahkan nyamuk, kelambu dibakar” (angry at the mosquitoes, but the net is burnt).
I hereby wish to advise with the utmost sincerity by taking into consideration the future of the religion, Malaysian nation and our beloved country.
Please do not be misled by actions and behaviours that will only disgrace our integrity, invite high risks to our process of progress and eradicate the foundations of national sovereignty through the display of rudeness, treachery, arrogance, ignorance in knowledge and lust for power.
The increasingly worrying situation leading towards economic recession, both at the global and regional levels, warrants us to concretize our unity though there are adversities in our viewpoints.
These are times when we can retract statements that were wrongly said, but these are precarious times where wrongful actions can lead to disastrous consequences.
To those who have repeatedly challenged the rights, roles, positions and prerogatives under the Federal Constitution, including the roles of the institution or Rulers, my advice is for the people to think carefully and evaluate deeply the consequences before taking any actions.
I pray to ALLAH the Almighty to place us in His loving care, and continue to shower us with a clear heart, peaceful soul, wiser thoughts, easier path, the right actions, harmonious relationship and strong self believe to manage the country together in facing future progress of our nation.
