In Trust Is Treason

When my old man was in the government, he used to complain that the Sultans are forever in need of money and contracts. Every month he would get calls from them even in the middle of the night for such help. It was never easy to reject or offer a solution because the Sultans are very stubborn and expect their demands to be met. So much so he always tells his secretary to say he had gone overseas or in meeting with foreign investors. Sultan of Kedah was the most respectable and honest one. Politicians are no different from the royalties too.

Nik Aziz the Menteri Besar of Kelantan had been shame and ignored countless times by the state Sultan. The Sultan had never even till today accepted PAS as the state government. But because Nik Aziz was very humble and looking more like a slave following behind the Sultan in public and never saying much, the hostile was kept to a minimum.

Mohd Nizar the ex-Menteri Besar of Perak, though humble he does speak his mind which rather annoys the Sultan of Perak who is also dependence on UMNO. Though his time was cut short, he did work for the people that were noticeable among the various races and religion.

The recent loss of Perak back to BN should be a lesson for all not only to the opposition parties. There is a saying IN TRUST IS TREASON is never be too sure of anything because you can be stab from behind. To ensure such incident do not occur ever again, the people must give the opposition a bigger mandate and make sure BN is completely wipe off. PKR, DAP and PAS must now prepare and ensure they have enough of loyal and sincere members to stand for the next election.

Like my old man, Nik Aziz and Mohd Nizar never, never trust the Royalties and Politicians and always remain humble and pretend to be stupid.
