Who Does This King Think He Is? Zuraida Demands To Know - superadmin - 08-03-2021

The King says he’s ‘sad’? Well, Zuraida’s damned ‘UPSET’!

On TV yesterday she was forced to teach the Monarch a few realities about the Constitution. First up, he listens to her (being she is the Cabinet) and not the other way round.

Second, if he doesn’t want to pass a law, tough. Because if the Government have approved it then after 30 days it becomes law anyway.

Sarawak Report suggests Law Minister Takiyuddin remains in hospital as it might not be good for his struggling heart to try and defend that lot. This is how it came out:

Quote:“It’s up to the Government and the Cabinet to decide and the Monarch has to listen ..that should be the way

There are certain things Zuraida failed to mention (or probably to even grasp). The first is that the Cabinet she refers to does not legitimately hold office under the requirements laid out by the Constitution.

This is owing to the fact that the Constitution requires that the Prime Minister who appointed it should enjoy the support of the majority of MPs and if requested must prove that fact. The Prime Minister has refused and in order to do so has barely called Parliament at all during the entire 18 months since he was appointed by the King who has now quite rightly demanded he do so.

On the specific request of the King and the Rulers Mahiaddin did open Parliament last week, but tried to get out of any debates or any votes. After three days the King complained so Mahiaddin slammed shut Parliament again rather than face the dreaded vote.

Zuraida’s comment on King may be sedition, says lawyer - superadmin - 08-03-2021

PETALING JAYA: A minister could have flouted penal laws, including the Sedition Act, for crudely suggesting that the “monarch has to listen” to the Cabinet, a lawyer said.

SN Nair said that by uttering such a statement, housing and local government minister Zuraida Kamaruddin reflected her “dangerously myopic” understanding of the workings of the Federal Constitution and other federal laws.

“Her statement borders on sedition for fomenting contempt, hatred and disaffection towards the King,” he told FMT.


The ex-cop turned lawyer said Zuraida may have also committed an offence under Section 124B of the Penal Code for an ‘activity detrimental to parliamentary democracy’.

Nair said this in response to Zuraidah’s stand that the issuing of a statement by the King on a proposal to revoke six emergency ordinances (EO) was “not proper”.
