RAJA ZALIM RAJA DI SUMPAH

1.But then I read many commentaries and analysis of Malaysia's history especially during his tenure as Agong. First, he was alleged to have assaulted a golf caddy and caused the latter's death, simply because the latter laughed at him after seeing HRH miss a golf hole. The incident was promptly noted by the then Prime Minister Dr Mahathir, but he did not take any action again the HRH. A great expert of manipulation and maneuver in politics, Dr Mahathir exploited HRH's vulnerability when needed. The moment came in 1988 when Dr Mahathir wanted to sack the Lord President Salleh Abas, who headed the judiciary that had become an obstacle in Dr Mahathir's fight with his strong opponent Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah. HRH, who was then the Agong, complied and sacked Salleh Abas. That was the moment when Malaysia's judiciary, which at that time enjoyed worldwide respect for its integrity and sound judgements, took a dramatic turn and started its disastrous decline until today. You can almost say the rot started then, under the hand of HRH.

HRH had failed to discharge his duty as the Agong to protect the judges from interference of the Executive. This failure of HRH was confirmed when HRH invited Salleh Abas to the Johor palace four years after the incident and sought Salleh Abas's forgiveness, according to Salleh Abas himself.

(The recent book, Malaysian Maverick, by Barry Wain has a detailed account of what has transpired then. Or visit Wikipedia.)

There is no love lost between the late sultan and his rakyat. Why should we mourn for someone who could not careless about the rakyat's welfare?? He was not compassionate, he was not kind to us, he was self-centered, he was arrogant, he was unreasonble..He was everthing rakyat hate to remember him by....

There goes another distorted soul who leaves nothing worth mentioning after his demise...what a waste of time, what a waste of glomourous, luxurious life he left behind........

I remember there was a case when some hockey coach was thrown into a dog cage for not including someone's nephew/relative in the state's hockey team. Anyone can recall this incident ?

I don't want to be a hypocrite. Neither am I one. My heart feels NOTHING! Glimpses of doctor shot at in the 60s, caddy boy's death, hockey master wacked, dan lain-lain. BUSINESS AS USUAL!
