Open letter to Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin (with Mandarin translation)
Don’t allow a handful of those who sit on the throne intimidate you into thinking that you are alone, representing the Rakyat, against the Monarchy. No, we are with you, as are many other Royals.
NO HOLDS BARRED
Raja Petra Kamarudin
Dear Datuk Seri,
I am going to make this short and sweet. No more cheong hei article from me.
They can lock the Perak State Assembly building if they want. The building is not important. If the building is inaccessible — say like there is a flood or an earthquake brings it down — does this mean the State Assembly can’t meet?
Of course it can. It can meet anywhere, not necessarily in that particular meeting.
Go find another meeting place, tonight, now itself, and hold the meeting there tomorrow. Pass a vote of confidence to support you as the Menteri Besar. Then pass all the other motions, including the motion to dissolve the Perak State Assembly. Then drive up to Bukit Chandan as soon as possible and inform Tuanku of the State Assembly’s decision.
If Tuanku refuses to comply with what is clearly lawful, then challenge him and, if necessary, trigger a Constitutional Crisis like never before seen in the 52-year history of this nation.
The people are ready. The next ‘revolution’ is not going to be a race riot a la May 13. It is going to be a class struggle. And I am with the Rakyat on this, never mind my so-called Royal background.
I speak as a Royal but speak for the Rakyat. And rest assured there are many other Royals who share my view. Don’t allow a handful of those who sit on the throne intimidate you into thinking that you are alone, representing the Rakyat, against the Monarchy. No, we are with you, as are many other Royals.
Grab the bull by the horns and bring it to its knees. And if this bull wears a crown so be it. The Rakyat have spoken. Don’t back down now. Go all the way or forever lose that advantage. And if you fail to go all the way, the Rakyat will never forgive you and you will lose our support till the end of time.
Daulat Tuanku. Daulat Tuanku. Daulat Tuanku.
Patek yang hina sembah Tuanku dan memohon perkenan agar Tuanku jangan kecewakan Rakyat. Hasrat Rakyat ialah untuk mencari kebenaran dan keadilan. Biarlah ini juga menjadi hasrat Tuanku.
Daulat Tuanku. Daulat Tuanku. Daulat Tuanku.
致给霹雳州务大臣尼查的公开信
尊敬的Datuk Seri，
我将在此精简的说出我的话。
如果他们真想要的话，他们可以把霹雳州议会大厦给锁上。那栋楼并不重要。如果那栋楼因为天灾－－如洪水或地震－－而无法进入，这是否意味着州议会再不能开了呢？
当然可以。它可在任何地方开会，不一定在那栋楼里。
今晚，去寻找另一次开会地点，明天就举行会议。然后通过信任票支持你作为州务大臣。然后，通过其他的议决，包括解散霹雳州议会。然后尽快驱车直达Bukit Chandan通知苏丹议会的决定。
如果苏丹拒绝遵守显然是合法的决定，那么挑战他。如果有必要，引发我国52年来从未有过的宪政危机。
人民已经准备好了。下一个'革命'将不会是另一个五一三的种族骚乱。这将是一个阶级斗争。我在此与民同在，尽管我的所谓的皇族背景。
我以皇族说出我的话，但却是为人民发言。您可以放心还有许多其他皇族成员与我的看法一致。不要让少数坐在宝座上的人恐吓你，让你以为你是单独的代表人民，挑战君主。不，我们与你同在，也包括许多皇族成员。
果敢的面对与挑战它，就算它是个带了皇冠的君主。人民已经表决了。不要低头。一路走下去或您将永远失去这个优势。如果你不能坚持一路走下去，那人民将不会原谅您，您将失去我们的支持。
Daulat Tuanku. Daulat Tuanku. Daulat Tuanku.
恕小人无礼，央求殿下慎重考量，别再让人民失望。人民的意愿是找寻真理与公正。希望这也是殿下的意愿。
Daulat Tuanku. Daulat Tuanku. Daulat Tuanku.
