In the aftermath of BN financially unbridled electoral victory Down South, one troubling truth has reared its ugly head.
Maybe, because it was Johor, the Convicted Felon had to add the “Istana Factor” to his electoral arsenal to ensure electoral victory in Johor.
Maybe, all along Mr Sultan had cunningly used Umno to take back from Umno what Umno has taken away from the Royals, many years back, when Mahathir was King.
Maybe, it was a willing collaboration between dubious Umno political Kleptocrats and the greedy Feudal Juvenile aka Mr. Sultan Down South - a collaboration with malice a forethought that would benefit each other.
Call it what you will, but this much happened at the Johor PRN. What Umno (read Mahatir) has wrecked asunder (read Royal hegemony) decades ago, Umno has now returned to the Royals berkali ganda!
We, the long suffering rakyat are now cursed by the three “Rs”.
RELIGION, RACE AND ROYALTY.
This is not just that incident where Gomez, after a lecture from palace staff on proper respect for the ruler, was taken in to see the Johor sultan, where he was rushed by a group of men in jeans, who joined the sultan in beating him up until he was unconscious.” No Sir, that happened many decades ago.
No sir. This is today.
After Umno, with substantial financial and ‘other” assist from Mr Sultan Down South, won the Johor State Election, Mr Sultan collected his dues. He, not Umno, decided who will be the Menteri Besar of Johor.
Can you imagine what Mr Sultan will do when it is his turn to be King of Malaysia in 2024?
No, I do not tremble at the thought of what he will do to people like me who call him a greedy and stupid idiot. Nor do I fear his wrath. But I fear for what an Idiot King and a complicit kleptocratic Umno Government, with a Convicted Felon as Prime Minister, can do for each other at the expense of Malaysia and Malaysians.
Enough said.
