Hati Rakyat yang DAHAGAKAN Pembelaan
Di bawah ini disiarkan komen Blogger Dasa terhadap posting dalam blog bertajuk Raja-Raja Adalah Bahagian Penting Negara, Tegas Raja Nazrin.
Kelangsungan institusi raja sesebuah negara amat berkait-rapat dengan kemampuannya untuk “membaca” suasana semasa dan seterusnya menyesuaikan diri menerusi tindakan-tindakan yang perlu. Peneraju institusi raja yang prihatin kepada apa jua perkembangan yang berlaku kepada negara dan rakyat tidak akan teragak-agak menzahirkan pandangannya kepada pihak yang terlibat secara langsung tetapi terhormat.
Di bumi bernama Malaysia, institusi raja mempunyai ruang untuk memastikan negara benar-benar ditadbir secara sewajarnya dari masa ke semasa kerana rakyat hanya berpeluang “menghakimi” kerajaan selepas beberapa tahun iaitu menerusi pilihanraya umum. Kenyataan sesetengah pihak bahawa institusi raja di negara ini adalah simbol semata-mata merupakan satu penghinaan kepada raja-raja. Ianya umpama menyamakan institusi raja dengan objek yang tidak bernyawa seperti bendera dan tugu.
Raja-raja sesungguhnya berada di kedudukan yang amat istimewa bukan sahaja dari segi Perlembagaan malah di hati sanubari rakyat yang dahagakan keadilan dan pembelaan. Apatah lagi sekiranya raja-raja terdiri daripada insan-insan berkeperibadian mulia, berpendidikan tinggi, berpandangan jauh dan yang sentiasa memahami jiwa serta hasrat rakyat kebanyakan.Dalam keadaan di mana negara ditadbir secara lemah dan diserapi unsur-unsur tidak sihat, hanya satu tempat yang ada untuk rakyat mengadu dan menyandarkan harapan mereka iaitu institusi raja sebagai pemulih keadaan. Tanpa institusi raja yang berfungsi dengan berkesan, masa depan negara dan rakyat umum akan mempunyai laluan yang kelam dan berduri.
Daulat Tuanku!

Raja Nazrin: Monarchy an integral part of nation
Tuesday September 4, 2007
The monarchy in Malaysia is an integral part of the country as well as a symbol of identity, continuity, unity and strength, and contrary to some opinion, is not all form and no function, said the Raja Muda of Perak Raja Dr Nazrin Shah.
“It is a symbol of identity because it is a national institution, one that distinguishes this country from all others, and it is a symbol of continuity because the monarchy in Malaysia is an old institution and provides a sense of historical significance to the people,” he said. He said this at a public lecture entitled ‘50 Years of National Development and Nationhood’ at the Khazanah Nasional Develop- ment Seminar last night.
Raja Nazrin said the monarchies that have survived, including the one in Malaysia, have done so because they have evolved in line with social progress and contribute to public life. He said that for the monarchy in Malaysia to continue to function effectively, it must remain fresh and vital by fulfilling the role expected of it. “It is an often overlooked or under-appreciated fact that the monarchy in Malaysia is supposed to play a productive role by being a healthy check and balance in the system of governance,” he said.
He said the Federal Constitution mandates the monarchy to be the guardian of the just rule of law, an impartial arbiter in the democratic process and an overseer of the pillars of state. “Some believe that Rulers are supposed to do so in a purely ceremonial sense, but I would argue that this contradicts the true spirit, if not the letter, of the Federal Constitution,” he said.
He said that while the monarchy was required to act on the advice of the executive, it must also uphold the principles of good governance and the rule of law, with credibility and impartiality. “To do otherwise would be to undermine its integrity, as well as that of the Federal Constitution,” he said, adding that for the monarchy to effectively discharge its responsibilities, it will need to have avenues for genuine and in-depth consultations with the executive.
Raja Nazrin said this should pose no problem, however, given the common and unswerving aim of advancing the interests of the nation. “This unity of purpose will also help ensure that the relationship will be cooperative and not marred by open confrontation,” he added.

In Malaysia, the king asserts his power
Sultan Mizan Malaysia faces its worst constitutional crisis in 20 years as its king exercises his constitutional powers to reform the judiciary and the government of the 13-state Southeast Asian federation that has been undermined by charges of wasteful public spending, rising corruption and lawlessness, according to diplomats and political analysts.
They say a confrontation between the king and Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi is inevitable as Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin, 45, Malaysia’s 13th Yang di Pertuan Agong or supreme ruler, is determined to dispel a misconception that his role as a constitutional monarch is purely ceremonial.Sultan Mizan, one of nine hereditary Malay rulers who take turns to become king every five years, has the backing of all his eight other peers who last year elected him to the throne.
Among them is former king Raja Azlan Shah, 79, the sultan of the northern Perak state, who is a constitutional law expert and former Lord President of the Federal Court. Raja Azlan, in his writings, has shown that the rulers have more than a ceremonial role.
Malaysia’s federal constitution gives the king sufficient power to force the hand of the prime minister in the running of his government, lawyers and constitutional experts say. Sultan Mizan, ruler of the oil-rich north eastern Trengganu state, can also frustrate Abdullah’s plans to call a snap election early next year. Constitutionally, the king can refuse the prime minister’s request to dissolve parliament to pave the way for a general election.The next general election is not due until 2009; but analysts say Abdullah wants an early election to pre-empt a challenge from former deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, the de facto leader of the opposition Parti Keadilan (Justice Party). The charismatic Anwar, who has been convicted of corruption charges, is barred from holding public office until 14 April next year. Although Anwar’s party is unlikely to unseat Abdullah’s United Malays National Organisation (Umno), at the polls, analysts say he could take away enough Malay votes from Umno, the dominant party in the 13-member Barisan Nasional (national front) government, to humiliate Abdullah and force him into retirement.
Constitutional experts say the Malaysian parliament is Abdullah’s only recourse to neutralise the rulers. His government controls two-thirds of the votes in the House of Representatives that would allow him to amend the constitution to take away the last vestige of power that the rulers and the king now enjoy. But there are doubts as to whether Abdullah could muster enough support in parliament in his confrontation with the rulers, they say. Since winning an overwhelming mandate in the 2004 general election, Abdullah’s popularity has plunged to its lowest ebb as he has failed to deliver his promised reforms to weed out corruption, stop wasteful spending on mega projects, and overhaul the judiciary and the civil service.Twenty years ago, former premier Mahathir Mohamed removed the king’s power to veto legislation, allowing bills before the king to be passed without his consent after a lapse of 30 days. He also curtailed the powers and privileges of the rulers, removed their immunity and set up a special court to try them for civil and criminal offences.
Analysts say Mahathir could do that because he used the government-controlled media in a relentless campaign to denounce the Malay rulers as extravagant “feudal relics” at a time when Malaysians, who include Malays, ethnic Chinese and Indians, didn’t look kindly to the rulers.But times have changed. Sultan Mizan, the first king to be born in post-independent Malaysia, represents a new breed of western educated Malay royals who eschew an extravagant regal lifestyle and embrace the aspirations of the common people for an efficient government that upholds the rule of law. They include Raja Nazrin, 50, the crown prince of Perak who was educated at Oxford and Harvard.
Raja Nazrin, the eldest son of Raja Azlan Shah, has recently called on Malaysians to uphold the constitution.Analysts say many Malaysians, particularly the non-Malays, are increasingly clamouring for the rulers to force Abdullah’s hand in reforming the judiciary that has fallen into disrepute over allegations that the Chief Justice Fairuz Ahmad Sheikh Abdul Halim has promoted lesser and errant judges to important judicial posts.
The Chief Justice has denied these allegations and has demanded proof of his judges’ misdemeanours.Malaysians are anxious to know if their king will give his consent to Abdullah’s latest nominee for the post of Chief Judge of Malaya, the third most important post after the Chief Justice and the President of the Court of Appeal. The post has been vacant for seven months following the retirement of Siti Normah Yaakob on January 5. Siti was Malaysia’s first woman judge. The king has twice refused Abdullah’s recommendation.Whatever the outcome is, analysts say, the king and his fellow rulers have made their position clear: They are not Abdullah’s rubber-stamp. And they expect Abdullah to do their bidding in cleaning up the judiciary. In this, the Malay rulers have most of the 25 million Malaysians on their side, they say.

Dr M: Umno has become completely paralysed
By Andrew Ong
As Umno musters its forces against the emergence of bloggers, the party’s former president Dr Mahathir Mohamad is urging online dissidents to keep up the pressure on the government.
At a special meeting with bloggers today, Mahathir described bloggers as the “only hope” left to speak out on problems in the country. “Umno has become completely paralysed. It cannot do anything (to correct itself). The only hope left is with the bloggers,” said Mahathir during a two-and-a-half hour speech to some 100 bloggers at the Perdana Leadership Foundation headquarters in Putrajaya.
Mahathir was speaking on the perceived intolerance of Umno’s leadership towards criticism on allegations of corruption, cronyism and nepotism. He has been over the past two years attacking number of party leaders, in particular his handpicked successor, Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and his powerful son-in-law, Khairy Jamaluddin, who is Umno Youth deputy chief.
Up until now, Mahathir had only been expressing tacit support for online dissidents, although he had once dubbed malaysiakini as “traitors to the country” when he was in power. ‘Be brave’ Of late, many Umno leaders have been on an unprecedented warpath against bloggers who criticise the government and its policies. Mahathir also referred to the eight-hour marathon police interrogation of political website owner Raja Petra Kamarudin as an example of how the authorities can intimidate bloggers.
“You have to gather force. You have to talk to people. Even if you are arrested, you go and talk… If you have only one person doing that, it’s not good enough.
“If you want to do something that is positive, you have to get everybody, as much as possible, and do it openly and say it loud and clear,” said Mahathir who was met with loud applause from the floor. Citing a recent lecture in a local university, Mahathir expressed disappointment with students who blamed the Universities and University Colleges Act (UUCA) as the reason for not speaking out on issues. “There are ways to get around the rules and regulations. If you want, if you love your country, you would take the risk,” he added.
Write prudently However, Mahathir advised bloggers to be careful in their writings and avoid courting negative publicity. “There are bloggers who use words that are dirty, obscene, personal attacks, monkey, monyet… people would react by saying ‘so those are bloggers? Useless people! Read the mainstream media.
The (New) Straits Times tells you the truth,’” said Mahathir with his usual sarcasm. On the upcoming general election, Mahathir claimed that there would be widespread vote buying due to the precedence set in the recent Selangor’s Ijok and Pahang’s Batu Talam by-elections. “It is for certain that in the coming general election, a lot of money would be spent in vote buying… if the ruling parties do this, we would be governed by a government that is outrightly involved in corruption,” he said. “For RM200, people are willing to sell their votes. They are not just selling their votes. Dia jual maruahnya (he is selling his dignity).”

Raja-Raja Adalah Bahagian Penting Negara, Tegas Raja Nazrin
KUALA LUMPUR, 3 Sept (Bernama) — Monarki, atau institusi raja di Malaysia adalah bahagian penting negara dan juga lambang identiti, kesinambungan, perpaduan dan kekuatan dan, bertentangan dengan pendapat sesetengah pihak, ia bukan setakat bentuk yang tidak mempunyai fungsi,
titah Raja Muda Perak, Raja Dr Nazrin Shah.
Raja-raja lambang identiti kerana ia adalah institusi nasional, sesuatu yang membezakan negara ini dari negara-negara lain, dan ia lambang kesinambungan kerana raja-raja di Malaysia adalah institusi tua yang memberikan kesedaran tentang signifikan sejarah kepada rakyat, titah baginda.”
Ia simbol perpaduan kerana ia menjadi titik tumpuan rakyat dari semua kaum, agama dan anutan politik untuk bersatu. Dan ia lambang kekuatan kerana ia mempamerkan sifat adil, timbang rasa dan kemuliaan,” titah baginda pada syarahan umum bertajuk “50 Tahun Pembangunan dan Kematangan Negara” pada Seminar Pembangunan Khazanah Nasional, di sini.Raja Nazrin bertitah dalam tempoh lima abad, banyak institusi raja di dunia hapus kerana Raja-raja menganggap status itu sebagai hak cukup mulia dan bukan sebagai satu tanggungjawab.”
Mereka tidak kisah untuk menilai dan membina kembali peranan mereka sebagai pelindung kebajikan rakyat jelata dengan itu, tidak menghairankan, mereka tidak dapat mengekalkan pengiktirafan dan kepercayaan rakyat,” tambah baginda.
Raja Nazrin bertitah monarki dikait rapat dengan autokrasi, megalomania, tiranni, kezaliman dan feudalisme walaupun hakikatnya dalam tempoh 100 tahun lepas, pemimpin dari pelbagai bentuk, komunis, sosialis, demokratik, republikan, ketenteraan, malahan haluan agama, muncul dan mempamerkan sifat-sifat ini malah lebih dari itu.
Beliau berkata monarki yang telah dapat meneruskan kelangsungannya, termasuk monarki di Malaysia, kerana mereka berkembang selaras dengan kemajuan sosial dan dan menyumbang dalam kehidupan awam.
“Mereka telah berkembang dengan menerima realiti, dan meletakkan diri mereka di atas, politik partisan. Mereka menyumbang kepada kehidupan awam dengan mentakrif semula peranan mereka untuk membantu menegakkan keadilan, mengekalkan keamanan dan menyelesaikan pertikaian antara pihak-pihak yang berbalah, sebagaimana hakim-hakim berkhidmat kepada masyarakat,” ujar baginda.
Baginda bertitah monarki berfungsi sebagai “suara kemunasabahan, kesederhanaan dan tadbir urus yang baik,” terutama bila wujud sikap ekstrem dan chauvinis.Dengan cara ini, monarki memperkukuh institusi tadbir urus dan mempertingkat proses demokratik, tegas baginda.Raja Nazrin bertitah untuk mempastikan monarki di Malaysia terus berfungsi dengan berkesan sebagai satu daripada cabang utama negara, tempat masyarakat berlegar, ia mesti kekal segar dan penting dengan memenuhi peranan yang diharapkan padanya.”
Fakta yang sering terlepas pandang dan kurang dihargai ialah monarki di Malaysia sewajarnya memainkan peranan produktif dengan menjadi penyemak dan pengimbang sihat dalam sistem tadbir urus,” titah baginda.
Raja Nazrin menegaskan Perlembagaan Persekutuan memberi mandat kepada monarki menjadi pelindung perjalanan undang-undang yang adil, penimbang tara saksama dalam proses demokrasi dan penyelia tunggak negara.”Sesetengahnya berpendapat bahawa Raja-raja harus melakukan demikian semata-mata dari segi istiadat, tetapi beta berhujah bahawa ini bertentangan dengan semangat sebenar, jika tidak maksud tersurat, Perlembagaan Persekutuan,” ujar baginda.
Baginda menegaskan sementara monarki diperlukan bertindak atas nasihat eksekutif, ia mesti juga menegakkan prinsip tadbir urus yang baik dan keluruhan undang-undang, dengan kewibawaan dan kesaksamaan.”Melakukan sebaliknya akan menjejas integritinya, dan juga integriti Perlembagaan Persekutuan,” titah baginda, dan menambah bagi mempastikan monarki menjalankan tanggungjawabnya dengan berkesan, ia perlu mempunyai laluan bagi perundingan tulen dan mendalam dengan eksekutif.
Raja Nazrin bertitah ini, bagaimanapun, tidak harus menimbulkan masalah, berdasarkan matlamat biasa dan murni untuk memenuhi kepentingan negara.”
Kesatuan matlamat ini akan membantu menjamin bahawa hubungan itu bersifat bekerjasama dan tidak dihalang oleh konfrontasi terbuka,” tambah baginda.– BERNAMA
Pak Lah Diminta Elakkan Krisis dengan RAJA-RAJA
KUALA LUMPUR, 11 Ogos:
Perdana Menteri diminta berfikir dua kali sebelum melaksanakan haknya mengikut Perlembagaan untuk melantik Hakim Besar Malaya tanpa mendapat restu Majlis Raja-raja.
Naib Presiden PAS, Datuk Husam Musa berkata, jika Perdana Menteri berbuat demikian sebagaimana kenyataan Ketua Hakim Negara bahawa PM mempunyai kuasa untuk melantiknya, ia akan menimbulkan krisis.
Bagi Husam, “Ini tidak sepatutnya berlaku.”
Akhbar Strait Times Singapura melaporkan, Majlis Raja-raja telah menolak calon Hakim Besar Malaya yang dikemukakan Perdana Menteri.
Bagaimanapun, Utusan Malaysia hari ini (11 Ogos) melaporkan, Ketua Hakim Negara berkata, Perdana Menteri berhak melantik Hakim Besar Malaya itu walaupun tidak mendapat restu Majlis Raja-raja kerana itu hak PM dari segi Perlembagaan.
Sekalipun mungkin Perdana Menteri boleh berbuat demikian dari segi Perlembagaan, pelbagai aspek lain mesti ditimbangkan, tulis beliau dalam blognya cetusan-hati.blogspot.com.
Beliau memberikan empat hujjah iaitu:
1. Langkah seperti itu hanya akan mengundang krisis.
2. Ia boleh dianggap Raja-Raja Melayu pada pandangan Perdana Menteri boleh diketepikan begitu sahaja
3. Ia akan meletakkan seolah-olah Raja-Raja Melayu memberi pandangan yang tidak mempunyai asas yang kuat untuk Perdana Menteri mempertimbangkan semula pandangan beliau yang terdahulu
4.Membelakangkan prinsip perundingan dan akan meletakkan precedent pandangan Raja-Raja Melayu tidak penting untuk dipertimbangkan. Ia akan membawa pelbagai implikasi serius terhadap perimbangan kuasa politik di negara ini pada masa akan datang dan keadaan itu seharusnya dielakkan.
“Berfikir dua kali, Pak Lah!” tegas Husam dalam blognya.
Malaysia’s rulers vs Abdullah: Who’s the winner?
Now that it has become public, the question before 25 million Malaysians is:
Who is likely to prevail in a confrontation between Malaysia’s Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and the 13-state Southeast Asian federation’s nine hereditary rulers over the constitutional role of the king.
(See In Malaysia, the king asserts his power)King Mizan Zainal Abidin, 45, the 13th Yang di Pertuan Agong or supreme ruler, says his role isn’t purely ceremonial. Abdullah, however, says the king has no right to meddle in his administration.
Last night Raja Nazrin Shah, the crown prince of northern Perak state, told his audience at a public lecture in Kuala Lumpur, the national capital, that Abdullah is wrong. He says that, under the constitution, the monarch acts as a “healthy check and balance” of Abdullah’s administration which has been undermined by wasteful spending of public funds on mega projects, rising corruption and lawlessness.
Such talk is worrying Abdullah; particularly when Nazrin says the constitution allows the rulers to be “ the guardian of the just rule of law, an impartial arbiter in the democratic process and an overseer over the pillars of state.”Analysts say the rulers are not suggesting that they have the power to remove Abdullah from office. That would be a coup d’état.
But rather, as Nazrin says, the rulers, who are above partisan politics, are to act like judges to ensure fairness in resolving conflicts in governing the country. The Malay rulers see themselves as the guardian of the welfare of Malaysians.
The 50-year-old Nazrin is seen as the de facto spokesman of the rulers whose office dictates that they refrain from articulating their personal views in public. Nazrin, who graduated from Oxford and Harvard, has been vocal on Malaysian constitutional, social and economic affairs. He is the eldest son of former king Sultan Raja Azlan Shah, 79, a constitutional law expert who was also the Lord President of the Federal Court.
Four years into his first term as prime minister, Abdullah’s popularity has nose-dived after winning an overwhelming mandate in the 2004 general election. He has broken his electoral promise to crack down on corruption and to bring reforms to his nation. Instead, allegations of corruption and abuse of governmental powers have risen.
His ‘Mr Clean’ image is tarnished by the purchase of a luxury jet that costs $50 million and a spate of financial scandals involving projects whose costs have gotten out of hand.Analysts say he is now perceived as a weak and indecisive leader who has lost control of his government allowing conflicts in the judiciary and rivalry among law enforcement officers that look like a mafia family feud. A spate of gangland slayings and a high profile murder case have added to Abdullah’s woes. And the rulers feel, constitutionally, they have the powers to make Abdullah correct his mistakes.Things came to a head over disagreement between Abdullah and the rulers over top judicial appointments.
Under Malaysia’s complex system of appointing judges, the king must give his consent after the prime minister has consulted the rulers of his choice. The king had refused Abdullah’s nominee following accusations that Chief Justice Ahmad Fairuz was promoting lesser and errant judges to high benches.
The adamant Chief Justice told Abdullah to tell the rulers that the king must do his bidding. A seven-month stalemate ensued over the appointment of the Chief Judge of Malaya which was resolved only last week when Abdullah finally yielded to the king.Now, the rulers want Abdullah to reform the judiciary which has been disgraced by allegations of impropriety of judges since the judiciary lost its autonomy after former premier Mahathir Mohamed sacked Salleh Abas, the Lord President of the Supreme Court, in 1988. One man who would want Abdullah to restore independence to the judiciary is Sultan Azlan Shah. He has hinted so much in many of his writings.
But will Abdullah do it?
