Where Is The Power Point Within Our Wonderful System Of Government

Zubli Zainordin

It has been said, written, and agreed upon our wonderful system of government. Yet, in relations to the Chair, we sometimes may be caught in an entanglement.

Raja Berpelembagaan, we have the Royal Institutions, where a part of Malaysia is blessed with a King, and forming the Majlis Raja-Raja Melayu, The Yang DiPertuan Agong, is sitting on the highest Chair in Malaysia.

Then, we see within the Executive, the Prime Minister’s Chair. In addition to the People’s elected representatives in Paliament.

Also the Judiciary.

Each working in harmony, with powers to achieve a balanced, and a nice flow in the aspect of governance.

After the Malaysian 12th General Election, we have witnessed situations whereby entanglement does occur. These can be messy.

In particular the appointment of two Menteri Besar, namely in Perlis and Terengganu. In addition to what happened in Perak pertaining to the transfer of a religious high ranking officer.

How messy?

Almost all sectors are now involved in a complex web of power, including the Majlis Raja-Raja Melayu, The Prime Minister, Members of Parliament, and groups within the People, the Rakyat.

Most current are the ones in the form of a Police reports one against Karpal Singh, and another against the Prime Minister, in relations to menghina Sultan.

Let us see what shall happen next.
