the Consti-what?

Remember the whole Terengganu MB fiasco?

Remember how our beloved PM chose candidate No.1 Mr. Jusoh, and how the Sultan of Terengganu(aka Agong) chose candidate No.2 Mr. Saad? And then all the UMNO members rallied behind their beloved UMNO president(because those people are "yes men" according to our beloved EX-PM and will bend like lalang whenever the wind blows) and cried that they will NOT support the Agong's choice but will stand behind Mr. Jusoh?

And did you know NONE of the mainstream media published all the wrongdoings of Mr. Jusoh? One Terengganu Newspaper detailed every single misappropriation of funds by Mr. Jusoh. From the Monsoon Cup to the Petronas subsidy. But mainstream media? None of that. All we get is, INFIGHTING BETWEEN PAS AND DAP. BN GETS SUPPORT BY RAKYAT. WE HEART PAK LAH. WE HEART BN.

Um, sorry. But some of us, do not HEART Pak Lah nor BN.

So they yelled and they scremed that it was not right for the Agong to interfere. They protested, they demonstrated. And what did the PM say of this bad behaviour and disrespect to the Agong? Nothing. But when Lim Kit Siang made a comment on his blog about his displeasure with the Sultan of Perak's decision to accept a PAS man as the MB of Perak, he was called disrespectful to the Sultan and asked to apologise.

To add insult to the injury, our beloved PM then looked the TV crew in the eyes(and straight into the cameara thrusted in his face) and said "ia tidak mengikut Perlembagaan Malaysia" ?

I nearly died laughing.

PERLEMBAGAAN?

When did this country EVER respected the Perlembagaan? I do not remember the PM citing the Perlembagaan when he ordered the people to be arrested under the ISA just because they took to the streets to yell that they want RM1 million compensation each(albeit a stupid request but apparently it was for a much bigger cause), or sprayed water cannons and tear gas into the Bersih rally (freedom of expression?), or disallowed the inter religious conference,or kept mum when there was a discussion about whether one can convert out of Islam, or when some idiot of a Minister yelled Malaysia was a ISLAMIC country and that if the rest of us were unhappy, we could leave or somehow spared the water cannons when his son in law and his posse marched in front of the KLCC Convention Centre to give a memo to Condoleeza Rice (who CARES for what?) and also spared the UMNO(and BN) supporters the rough treatment of dispersing the crowd when they gathered in front of Komtar?
Equality before the law? CONSTITUTION?

Where is the "TIDAK MENGIKUT PERLEMBAGAAN" comment that was much needed and desired from the PM?

We didnt get jackshit.

Instead we heard crickets. That or a deafening silence.

However, when you challenge his choice of candidate for an all important post right after he suffered a humiliating loss (loss to Non-BN supporters but still a STRONG SUPPORT win if you are pro BN) and have been asked to step down as UMNO president and as PM, suddenly there is talk of this all elusive Perlembagaan.

Its one of those things we have HEARD about it but never really knew whether it actually, truly, exists. Now, we know, it MIGHT exists. Because the PM actually mentioned it.

However, the PM soon suffered a memory loss and forgot all about the fact that he said it was unconstitutional. He comes before the rakyat and declares(semacam hero)that he RESPECTS the decision of the Agong, and that he will support whichever candidate that will be sworn in a MB and so all his posse quickly rallied behind him and started kissing Mr. Saad's hand. Oh, we will serve you. WE HEART SAAD!

It really sends shivers down my spine to know that this MAN, this MAN who claims to represent us, the one whom we think should know the law and the workings of the country at the back of his hand, might actually be, an empty husk.

And merely a puppet.
