Trust Them Not

One of the best if not the best MB today

Power and authority are addictive and certainly intoxicating but seldom people or those being trusted to honour them forget that both are also cursed. This is what is happening in one east coast state where the royal family is now embroiled in an intense power struggle since the Ruler himself is incapacitated and thus unable to carry out his duties. Nonetheless, it is of no concern of the blogger except for the negative implications on the ruling PAS government.

Though it is an internal matter and does not directly concern the state government by media belonging or controlled by the ruling coalition seem to link the issue with the ruling state government in that state. They may or may not be ignorant as to the fact that the monarchy is by all means is constitutional and not elected democratically and after all they are supposed to be apolitical unlike the state government which is presently controlled by PAS. Hence, what ever problems involving the palace is their internal and private matters and have nothing to do with the PAS government.

Unfortunately, there are naive people out there who may be swayed by the politicking by the ruling coalition controlled media. In a veiled statement today, one of many newspaper reported that due to the internal power struggle, the state administration under the Menteri Besar is at a crossroad. Such statement may seem to be ordinary and nothing special but by connecting the internal problem with the day to day administration of the state, they are implying that the state government is now declining and is no longer able to govern properly.

Such subtle condemnation may seem innocent or even sympathetic enough for many but considering the present scenario in that state, no doubt they are doing a good job in their psychology war to take over the state come the next GE. Nonetheless, as inexperienced as the blogger is, the Kelantanese know better and judge as to what really is happening in their own state.
