Generations to come will remember him as a royalty who did not care about the welfare of his subjects.
He will also be remembered as a sultan without the courage to walk his own talk and stand up for justice, democracy and the separation of powers.
Sultans are supposed to be above politics. When they do interfere, they must justify their actions to the people; not just to the deputy prime minister.
Keeping his silence does not endear the sultan to the people nor does it provide clarity. I do hope he moves to resolve this before more mayhem happens.
He should, after all, be the one most concerned. His subjects have spoken and they are very confused; now he must ask them for their verdict at the ballot box.
We are on dangerous ground. Perak is in turmoil. Why is the royalty keeping mum? We know they are supposed to be above politics but it's ridiculous to see the speaker being bullied.
Why are there no snap elections? Why hasn't the Sultan of Perak called for them? It is a simple solution but one stays mum? Why?
