The Perak Dewan Sitting - Dissenting Sakmongkol!

I read SakmongkolAK47 and respect his take on the matter. He is entitled to his opinion and perception on the episode. I am entitled to mine too.
Dewan Sitting on the very first day for every "penggal" must begin with the Royal Address by the Ruler. As the case in Perak, on the 7th May 2009, it was scheduled for the Official Opening by the Ruler and the first agenda must be the Royal Address i.e after usual protocol of the Cokmar being brought into the Dewan and the recital of prayers.
As in all Official Opening, guests and ADUN alike must be allowed into the Dewan, seated in a pre-arranged protocol. The Speaker will sit at the seat normally allocated for the Secretary as his seat will be occupied by the Ruler and His Consort.
There was legal battles prior to the date of the sitting and the Federal Court Order was interpreted in all sorts ways. Nevertheless, all have agreed that Zambry and the 6 Exco members can attend the Sitting, with a few saying that they may attend but should not participate. Whatever is the interpretation, the fact is, they can attend. All others can also attend including authorised persons. As security is of the paramount considerations, the Police had obtained a Court Order prohibiting unauthorised persons from attending or coming near the Dewan premises. Why was Sivakumar so ardamant about chasing Zambry and the other 6 out of the Dewan? There was no Court Order or any other orders for that matter preventing Zambry & Co from attending the Dewan and listening/attending to the Ruler in respect of the Royal Address!
Whatsoever might be our political affiliation, the fact that the Raja Muda was not even allowed to deliver the Royal Address until after 6 hours of booing, jeering, tearing and ejecting is really uncalled for and from You Tube etc including smses and life telephone conversations from persons inside the Dewan clearly show the Pakatan Pembangkang ADUNs were the loudest and rowdiest!
It will not happen in Pahang as respect for the Sultan, the Tengku Mahkota and the Istana is still very very deep here. What Raja Nazrim had endured and His Royal Highness admonisition of the ADUN lead by Nizar is really adorable. Sivakumar was the stubborn head and come to think about it, he should have been ejected long time ago!

    Dear Dato',

    Shameful, very shameful. Yet there are people out there who are still supporting these rowdy politicians. Teruk betul cara melatah bila tau peruik nasi dah tergugat.

    If it is justice they are seeking, this is not the way how the learned and trusted ones should behave. Meluat!

    I supposed Najib and his cabinet owes explanation to the rakyat.

    Most of us are still confused why this happened and how it took place. Those who are against, exploited and spin every corner of the tragedy but above all, most rakyat need to be explained.

    Mantra,
    Must Najib & his cabinet explain? It should be Sivakumar & Co to explain as to why they have no respect for the Ruler!

    Takkan Najib kena explain semua benda yg berlaku di Malaysia ini. Takkan traffic lights tak nyala di Melaka pun Najib nak kena explain?

Prerogative of Mercy. Beg Your Pardon...

Ada terpandang video oleh Zaid Ibrahim tentang Pardon. Dia kata itu Prerogative of Mercy oleh Agong dan Raja2. High Prerogative of Mercy....or something like that lah. Itu betul. Tapi kalau nak kata process itu tidak ada procedure tak betul lah. Perlembagaan kita dan Akta Penjara telah tetapkan procedure nya. Agong & Raja2 juga perlu bertindak ikut Perlembagaan dan Undang2. Maka itu lah sebabnya digelar Raja Berperlembagaan. Dalam Perlembagaan ditetapkan mesti diadakan Pardons Board yang dipengerusikan oleh Tuanku sendiri. Antara lain Pardons Board itu akan bermesyuarat, pertimbangkan Petisyen yang dikemukakan, dapatkan nasihat dan pandangan ahli Pardons Board itu dan minta nasihat dan pandangan dari Peguam Negara. Bukan macam cerita filem purba. Bukan macam cerita Sultan Melaka ampunkan Hang Tuah untuk tujuan suruh bertikam dengan Hang Jebat. Bukan sebab Sultan Melaka menyesal tersalah hukum Hang Tuah. Bukan ampunkan Hang Tuah sebab Hang Jebat handal sangat dan hanya Hang Tuah sah...

Setiausaha Politik selama 18 tahun (2000-2018)

Apabila YB Dato' Adnan Yaakob dilantik sebagai Menteri Besar Pahang, beliau telefon saya bertanya samada saya hendak tak datang ke Kuantan bekerja dengan dia. "Sam, Long ingat elok awak berubah angin. Mari datang Kuantan kerja dengan Long". Begitu lah kata-kata beliau. Kebetulan tahun 1999 itu saya kurang betul menumpukan perhatian kepada kerja-kerja sebagai lawyer. Anak saya baru meninggal pada 20hb August 1998. Dato' Adnan dilantik sebagai MB pada 25hb Mei 1999. "Come lah work with me. We see how I can place you in the MB's Office" Begitu lah Long Nan beritahu saya. "Boleh lah Long. Setahun dua boleh kot. I like myself more as lawyer, Long...." "OK...mari lah setahun dua" Itu jawab Dato' Adnan. "Tapi Long tak boleh lah bagi awak gaji besar Sam...." Sambung Dato' Adnan. "Kita tengok lah mana yang sesuai". Tambah beliau. Pada mulanya sejak bulan Mei 1999 itu saya hanya berulang alik KL-Kuantan. Tujuan...

Melayu Ada Kelas Ke? (Bab 2)

Prodigal Maestro membawa ingatan saya ke tahun 1985. Pada tahun itu saya memulakan karier sebagai seorang lawyer setelah letak jawatan dari Judicial & Legal Service. Saya berkenalan dengan Dato' Mohd Ariff Ibrahim (DMA). Beliau seorang akauntan dengan Hanafiah Raslan Mohamad (HRM). Di HRM saya juga kenal Hassan Merican, Toby Lam dan lain-lain. Itu pun kerana saya dengan legal firm Messrs. Gill & Tang dan PS Gill adalah rakan kongsi saya. PS Gill adalah bapa kepada Asha Gill. Ya... Asha Gill dalam Astro tu! DMA adalah orang Kelantan dan isteri beliau Tengku Fatihah Ibni Sultan Ibrahim (Ku Ah) saudara kepada Sultanah Johor dan juga Raja Permaisuri Perlis. Saya terpegun dengan kereta Rolls Royce mereka nombor plat DA 3 (Dato' Ariff 3). Kalau tidak silap hanya ada 9 lagi Rolls Royce yang dimiliki oleh orang Melayu selain dari yang dimiliki oleh Sultan, Raja dan Yang DiPertuan Negeri. Raslan tidak minat Rolls Royce dan lebih gemar kepada Porche (atau Ferrari...saya dah tak i...
