Selangor MB Saga – the disqualified & unqualified


Khalid Ibrahim

KTemoc Konsiders

As Malaysians we should be proud of our unique politics. For example, election polling in both the public domain (especially in Sarawak’s polling stations in remote areas) and in intra-party affairs (even in urban centres for one particular political party, wakakaka) have the ability to cause power outage, wakakaka again.

Leaving that and the antics of the remarkable Election Commission aside, do you know that once the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) had a Malay as its party president, wakakaka – well, at least temporarily, wakakaka again.

no Ali but then a Baba

But on the flip side, the Barisan Nasional, the ruling coalition always headed (not bloody ‘helmed’, please) by an UMNO man, effectively the President of UMNO, was once presided (not bloody ‘helmed’, please) by a Chinese, wakakaka – this was when the legitimacy of UMNO was in legal dispute – well, at least temporarily, wakakaka again.

does that mean I was also PM, temporarily lah?wakakaka

Then, as if the above two cases were not bizarre enough, PAS had a plan to have an UMNO man as PM should Pakatan Rakyat win the 2013 general elections with a ruling majority, wakakaka.

Kelantanese, you knowwakakaka

Now, we have a partyless assemblyman in Selangor who declared pompously yet pathetically “I will carry on my duties as mentri besar as usual and have been advised not to make any statements until the royal advisory council meets tomorrow. I will discuss the matter with the Sultan after the meeting.”

See, he’s not referred to as the Royal MB for nothing, a man who obviously doesn’t understand the democratic process and believes he answers ONLY to HRH.

Until very recently, I have favoured him over you-know-who, wakakaka, even though I personally don’t think very highly of him (the former) as a people’s representative, observing he’s nothing more than a pure businessman who cares more about big corporations and companies’ revenues than the ordinary people’s problems, as noted so painfully in the Grand Saga toll oppression in Cheras – see my post The Man who would be King.

But since lately he has become insubordinate to his own political party, openly defiant of their instructions and disdainful of consultations with his Pakatan colleagues prior to making big and important decisions. I suspect, as mentioned above, he has some weird ideas he as a State MB answers solely to HRH and not to his party, coalition, exco colleagues or Pakatan’s constituencies – note emphases as underlined.

Thus despite my trepidations about you-know-who, wakakaka, coming into greater play with his sacking from PKR, I applaud PKR’s firm decision to expel this maverick who lacks understanding of the democratic political process. Such a person is extremely dangerous for the Selangor rakyat to have as their state’s chief executive

Even now, he still clings on, hoping and expecting a royal cum religious salvation, the latter from PAS. If indeed he is so saved, it’ll be a enormous blow to the democratic process (to wit, the rakyat’s voice).
