TENGKU RAZALEIGH: SIAPA YANG DERHAKA KEPADA RAJA...???

Malam tadi sempat menonton Berita Astro Awani jam 12 malam mengulas apa yang disebut dalam blog Tengku Razaleigh iaitu Siapa Yang Derhaka Kepada Raja..?

Ulasan Ku Li sungguh menarik dan elok saya sarankan anak-anak muda seperti YB Nik Nazmi dan YB Amiruddin mengikuti blog ini dan langsung menonton video ucapan Ku Li pada tahun 1993 di Dewan Rakyat.

Dibawah ini antara tulisan dalam Blog Ku Li.....!!!

1993

This is not the first constitutional crisis in which the rights of the Rulers has been touched upon. Today’s crisis in Perak is about the legitimacy of the process by which a new state government has been formed in Perak. It’s not about the status of the Rulers. In comparison, the constitutional crisis of 1993 arose from an ugly confrontation between Umno and the Rulers over a question that had direct and profound implications on their sovereignty and that of the Yang Dipertuan Agong. For good reason, the Head of State in most countries may not be prosecuted in an ordinary court of law. In 1993, the government campaigned to remove this immunity through amendments to the Constitution.

I opposed these amendments.

In the event, Rulers and Parliament were railroaded by the government of the day and the amendments passed. These are the very same amendments which today make it legal for a Ruler to be prosecuted. Mr Karpal Singh, though I disagree with him, was acting well within rights that an Umno-led government enacted in 1993 when he earlier proposed to sue DYMM the Sultan of Perak.

Let’s reflect on this irony. Does Umno serve the Rulers more genuinely by upholding and protecting the Constitution which guarantees their status, or by histrionic displays tuned for the coming Umno elections?
