Suspension and Sedition Merely UMNO’s Cheap Politics - MPkapar

The phrase Singh is King had irked UMNO not only his youths whom mobbed DAP Stalwart YB Karpal Singh at Parliament house.

Today YB Karpal was charged under another Draconic Sedition Act just for merely expressing his legal opinion as Advocate that the decision of a ruler in the area of constitutional law can be questioned in court.

This also proof that Hundreds of police reports works out immediately compare to a single police as Malaysian very prone for pushing. Compare to Murders of Sujatha that took almost two years for an Inquest and A Kugan’s custodial death, prosecution made excellent job in charging YB Karpal. Hats Off, Attorney General.

While, I’m waiting when Attorney General will take stern Action against Standard Chartered Bank for taking legal action against late Negeri Sembilan Yang di Pertuan Besar DYMM Tuanku Jaafar.

In case reader forget about the case , here is excerpt from Straits Times “A MALAYSIAN court ordered the country’s former king on Wednesday to settle a US$1 million (S$1.46 million) debt to a bank in a landmark verdict that ended a centuries-old tradition shielding the country’s royal sultans from legal prosecution.

The case brought by Standard Chartered Bank against Tuanku Jaafar Tuanku Abdul Rahman was the first trial involving a Malaysian monarch since a 1993 constitutional amendment dissolved the immunity of state rulers from criminal and civil lawsuits.

‘This would be an ordinary case but what is exceptional is that it involves a ruler,’ the bank’s lawyer”

Just a day before, Malaysian Parliament broke a record by adapting a resolution within 24 hours upon submission. Despite standing order requesting 7 days notice, Speaker allowed Motion calling suspension of another opposition MP, YB Gobind Singh. Even my few motions was rejected after 2 days upon submission.

Why so rush? Does suspension of YB Gobind more important then Perak Constitutional affairs, or financial crisis hitting harder on Malaysia ? Does shouting “ a murdered” inside parliament house will effect countries harmony then racial remarks by ruling government member of Parliaments . Even, Ministers had done committed such disharmony remarks inside parliament previously.

All this just a CHEAP POLITICAL Tactic by UMNO. As their General Assembly approaching, in order to gain support from their Delegates all this been done. Further, as by election agenda during upcoming three by elections.

That’s the level of Tolerance shown by UMNO to fellow Malaysian. If they capable in manipulating Members of Parliament and well respected Advocate just think WHAT WILL THEY ABLE to ordinary Rakyat.
