Kuasa Raja-raja Berperlembagaan
The Agong can choose any Member of Parliament to be the PM of Malaysia. Anyone whom he thinks would be best in managing and dealing with the country after consulting his fellow brother Royalties. For example, if they find both the leaders of the winning and opposing team as not up to mark, they may decide to choose someone else from the pool of MPs.
A few called and asked about the meaning of the item 4 of my recommendation in my previous post where I suggested,
“And finally, my final hope is for our Raja-Raja Berperlembagaan to use their influence and legal and Royal power to come and save the day if all fails!!!”
It’s like this. The Agong can choose any Member of Parliament to be the PM of Malaysia. Anyone whom he thinks would be best in managing and dealing with the country after consulting his fellow brother Royalties. For example, if they find both the leaders of the winning and opposing team as not up to mark, they may decide to choose someone else from the pool of MPs.
So technically any MP can be a PM (similarly, any ADUN can be a Menteri Besar of Chief Minister, as per the Perak example with Nizar). This is the beauty of our political structure that those who have made democracy their religion fail to appreciate. In our system, if both alternatives are wanting, we have another option. Understood?
Democracy is not written in stone, it is just a tool to manage society, we can choose to use or not use it as long as the results is the betterment of humankind.
