Not good for the monarchy
Thursday, 10 June 2010 Super Admin
Today, again, I am not going to write a long cheong hei article. Today is just about Chua Jui Meng getting his two datukships withdrawn by the Johor Palace while another Johor man, Chua Soi Lek, is still a Datuk Seri. One, of course, joined the opposition while the other is the President of MCA. And it takes no genius to figure this one out.

Malaysiakini published the article below about Chua Jui Meng’s two datukships being withdrawn by the Johor Palace. The other Chua however, Chua Soi Lek, the MCA President, did not suffer the same fate. He did not even suffer this fate when he first got caught on video in a compromising position and admitted that the man in the video is him instead of just saying, “It sounds like me, looks like me, but he’s too ugly to be me.”
I am yet to find out what Chua Jui Meng’s crime is to warrant his datukships getting withdrawn. It must have been a very serious crime though, and we shall soon find out I suppose.
In the past, datuks who were sent to jail for fraud, embezzlement, corruption, murder, and many more such serious crimes never had their datukships withdrawn. Going by these ‘standards’, Chua Jui Meng’s crime must be more serious than fraud, embezzlement, corruption, murder, and whatnot. It can’t be just because he resigned from MCA and joined PKR unless that is considered more serious than fraud, embezzlement, corruption, murder, etc.
I hope and pray that what Chua Jui Meng committed is a most foul crime indeed -- more serious than fraud, embezzlement, corruption, murder, or whatever. If not, that will not bode well for the palace.
As it is, it is so difficult to defend the institution of the monarchy. It is a hard enough job to convince many Malaysians that Malaysia should retain the monarchy and not be turned into a republic after what happened in Perak and the role the palace was perceived to have played in the ouster of the Pakatan Rakyat state government.
I always argue that we should not abolish the monarchy just because of the misconduct of some of the Rulers. In that same spirit we can’t abolish the police force just because many police personnel commit crimes and are more a problem than the criminals they are supposed to protect us against. But it is becoming harder and harder for me to use this argument in the defence of the monarchy.
Let me again say what I have already said many times in the past. The future of the monarchy lies in the hands of the Rulers themselves. The conduct of the Rulers over this generation will determine whether the next generation calls for the end of the monarchy. I will not be around by then so it really would not concern me the least. So whether this generation of Rulers want to see their sons succeed the throne is entirely up to them. If not there may no longer be any throne to hand over.
This gotta be the work of MCA and Chua Soi Lek. He is a really vindictive bugger. J4. You had bette be careful. Chua Soi Lek is not a nice man. He will use political pressure and triads to suppress people opposing him.
ReplyDeleteFor Chua Soi Lek, it is either with him or against. For those against, prepare to die.
MCA is gone for good. No need to create precedent. If any current MCA datuks want to join another pollitical party they will still cross over. Precedent such as stripping title will not deter. Such move spells the end of MCA - the tide of support will go the way like Sibu Sarawak and nothing, no goons can prevent. What sick politics is this? Never mind, it's a malaysian way of performing 'hari kiri'.
ReplyDeleteJ4. You had better leave MCA. Form the alternative party.
ReplyDeleteFrom his looks, he ought to be a calculating cunning fox, instead of him been loyal to his ex-boss, he took the offensive that will be the president and that OTK is just a lame duck with almost all CD's going against him, just look at the timming set and the proactive action of KCH & NYY - what do you guys think?, who would have orchestrated all this? To LTL, you better watch out and behave good or else you shall be deadmeat......haha
