Constitutional monarchy is a puppet or rubber stamp.The Perak Ghost story

 Is there any punishment for lying to the Sultan?

 Seem to be surrounded by a lot of zombies in the form of  PAS  who keep saying ‘Yes, Madam, three bags full, Madam’ to whatever you say, Too sexy. She might take only too literally the saying that politics makes for strange bedfellows and confuse ‘coalitional compulsions’ with ‘coitus interruptus’.

As Madam Speaker of the House, Hannah Yeoh holds the key to resolve the political crisis in Selangor.

Selangor State Assembly’s Standing Order 10 (2) reads:

Disyaratkan, iaitu, jika Dewan telah ditangguhkan dengan tidak menetapkan hari mesyuarat akan datang, Tuan Speaker bolehlah menetapkan harinya; dan dengan itu Setiausaha Dewan hendaklah menghantar surat pemberitahu hari yang ditetapkan itu kepada setiap ahli sekurang-kurangnya dua puluh lapan hari sebelumnya.

The State Assembly sitting is usually adjourned sine die.

I stand corrected but my interpretation of the above is that this means the Speaker has the right to set the date for the next State Assembly meeting, as early as the first week of September 2014 (28 days from today).

Prove you have assembly’s confidence,PKR and DAP today challenged embattled Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim to prove that he still commanded the confidence of the majority of the assemblymen -In this sense the ball is now squarely in PAS and UMNO’s court.It’s true tha PAS is no guiltier than UMNO of going back and forth on  because PAS really needs to return to the Selangor assembly to re-establish a meaningful political presence. However, this machiavellian game is hardly fair to UMNO Don’t take us for granted.


Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim said today the Sultan of Selangor has consented to him continuing as Selangor Menteri Besar for now as he still commands support of the majorityPAS and UMNO state assemblymen.A defiant Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim today declared he can still lead the state government without PKR and DAP.He said according to the state constitution, only a minimum of four exco members are needed to maintain the Selangor government.

His Royal Highness consented that the existing menteri besar can  continues his duties withb support from support of the majority PAS and UMNO state assemblymen.   sultan was satisfied with his explanation that he still has the majority support in the state assembly.

PKR and DAP have urged Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim to prove that he has support from the majority of the Selangor legislative assembly.how can he still b MB when he is without a party and the opposition is holding most seats to rule the state by law?

Until there are new developments, I still remain the menteri besar of Selangor and will carry out my duties like normal."‎

 PAS had already announced that its four exco members would continue working in the state government under him, and added that this figure was enough to conti‎nue with the exco  if the remaining six PKR and DAP exco members stepped down can appoint from UMNO 

He also dismissed suggestions that he was no longer qualified to continue as menteri besar since he had been sacked from‎ his party last Saturday.

"This is a matter of state administration, not political administration," he said, adding that the state was administered by the exco and its policies were implemented by public servants.

"Hence, I do not see any problems or limitations in the state administration."

Khalid said any criticism by his own party members that he no longer commanded the majority of the assemblymen's confidence should be put to test through the state legislative assembly.‎

"The test on whether the menteri besar has the whole support or no support will be tested according to the appropriation of the enactment," said Khalid.

"The whole process has to be done. First, the dewan convenes. If the decision of the dewan is that I do not have the majority support from the assemblymen, then I will have to seek an audience with the sultan and explain to him and recommend my decision."

When asked if he had discussed with the sultan the possibility of holding an emergency state assembly sitting ahead of its scheduled sitting in November, Khalid said no.

"I am not the one who wants the early sitting," he said, adding that the issue of dissolving the state assembly had not arisen during today's meeting.

PKR announced on Saturday that it had expelled Khalid for defying the party’s orders to step down as menteri besar and make way for Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail to replace him.‎

His expulsion came weeks after the MB crisis threatened to split Pakatan between PAS, which supports Khalid, and PKR and DAP, which want him removed.

All those clenched cusses on seeing corruption in Selangor government offices and pessimistically saying aloud `What will happen to Selangor when we see our   Abdul Khalid Ibrahim indulge in some twisted ’ come to a naught when he  meet with Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah  Constitutional monarchy is no puppet or rubber stamp. Thus the monarch may intervene, sparingly of course, when the state is in crisis and ordinary procedure does not work anymore. The kings of Spain and Thailand are good examples

With a royal council like that, it's a done deal. Selangor will be in for snap elections. UMNO will run riot with its tricks. PAS will lose badly. PR will just about scrap through with 2/3 majority whittled down from 44 to 35 seats. DAP will retain its 15 seats, PKR will add 1 more to make 15 seats, PAS will retain 5 seats and the rest goes to UMNO-BN, increasing from 12 to 21 seats. PAS will finally shut-up and toe the PR line and UMNO will plot the downfall of PR in Selangor in GE14, buying 5 PAS seats and stealing another 9 seats. The royal council usually convenes once a month, presided by the Sultan, to discuss state laws and administrative issues.

-Its ex-officio members comprise Khalid, by virtue of his position as the menteri besar, Selangor Islamic Religious Council (MAIS) chairman Datuk Mohamad Adzib Mohd Isa, Selangor mufti Mohd Tamyes Abdul Wahid, and Tengku Azman Shah, the Tengku Bendahara of Selangor.

The remaining 16 people who sit on the council are members of the Sultan’s family, and are district chiefs (pembesar daerah) in their own right.

“They are the Sultan’s advisors, and they protect the interests of the royals, the sultan’s position, his privileges, as well as the administration of Selangor,” Professor Datin Paduka Datuk Dr Ramlah Adam, director of the Malaysian Royal Institutions Research Centre at Universiti Malaysia Perlis,
