Methinks the Sultan of Selangor does too much.......

It is wrong to have as our ambassador someone whose morality is questionable. It is wrong to appoint a corrupt politician to be Chairman of Felda – an authority where billions are held in trust for the benefit of Malays who depend on Felda for their future. It is wrong to allow any Minister another day in office if there is that possibility that he might be involved in the rape of a foreigner – in this case an Indonesian maid. Yes we know he has not been found guilty of any crime but this is where our integrity as a nation rests. Until he is completely cleared of that suspicion he does not have our trust to stay in office. What is worrying is that our Prime Minister does not share our concern – the frisky ambassador, the corrupt politician and the likely rapist  -should be held to the same standards that we would expect of any ordinary Malaysian. It would seem that those in high public office are not subject to the same standards of propriety that we expect of ourselves and from our peers. That our Prime Minister is guilty of condoning these wrongs speaks volume of his sense of decency.   

And now like Perak, they are using a Sultan to do their dirty deeds for them. Using the Sultan of Selangor to ‘legalize” the appointment of the State Secretary. We all know that the Sultan Of Selangor is beholden to the Barisan Nasional government for his daily bread. He has been making a good deal of money from his many business dealings where, for the most part, the BN government have chosen to quietly overlook indiscretions that he has committed. And now they are calling in the markers they have been keeping on this Sultan of Selangor. If the Sultan does go in to bat for the Barisan Nasional over this appointment of the State Secretary, then I think he will be opening himself up to a number of issues.
