Constitutional Monarchy

I have great respect for Our King & Sultans, which include their Royal Consorts & Her Majesty The Queen of Malaysia. However, i am very sure the Former Lord President, His Majesty Sultan Azlan Shah will most certainly agree with me that The King & Sultans are CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHS, the exact interpretation of English Law whereby Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth has to remain impartial at all times where politics is concern & whereby Her Majesty is restricted from being involve with Governmental Proceedings and Political Parties. Her's is a Ceremonial Role & Ceremonial it remains as it's the exact interpretation of a Constituional Monarchy.

It's the People who vote for the Government and the Government is independent. In Short, No Political Interference & Government to Government discussions on matters of political governance & political ties. No such thing as being the "middle person over a cup of tea!". This is the exact meaning of Constitutional Monarchy and yes off course, the Law is above the King, Sultans & Members of Royal Families. I rest my case, Period. Tun Dato'Seri Dr.Mahathir Mohamad made this precisely clear during his tenure as Malaysia's Illustrious Prime Minister & He remained firm about this. Children of The 80s, our Parents & Grandparents know exactly why Dr.Mahathir became so firm & uptight about this, we all know the reason. Dr.Mahathir was absolutely correct & rightfully firm!

BN REPS LAMBAST ANWAR FOR QUESTIONING AGONG'S SPEECH

Bernama - Thursday, March 18

KUALA LUMPUR, March 17 (Bernama) -- Barisan Nasional (BN) members of parliament took to task opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim for questioning the content of the speech of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin.

Anwar, when debating the motion of thanks to the royal address, claimed that the speech heaped praises on Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

Jerlun MP Datuk Mukhriz Tun Mahathir said that although such speeches were normally drafted by the Prime Minister's Department, the palace would have the right to make amendments.

"Once the speech is read, it will become the address of the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong," he told reporters at parliament lobby.

Rural and Regional Development Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal said as a leader, it was not proper for Anwar to raise the matter.

"It is His Majesty's discretion whether to accept the draft presented to him. If there was anything that His Majesty did not agree in the speech, he would not have read it," he said.

Datuk Idris Harun (BN-Tangga Batu) said an elected representative should not question the address of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong in line with ruler's status as the supreme head of the federation.

"We should all take note of the content of the speech and not questioning it," he said.
