Whatever is happening in Terengganu?
Saturday and Sunday evening are accompanied by heavy rain in Kuala Lumpur. I am not sure in Kuala Terangganu. On the evening of election day, I was in Alor Setar, went back to vote. I voted in the morning and everything settled by 1/2 an hour. It started to get gloomy in the evening and then it rain heavily till late in the evening. I jokingly told my family that god is washing away the sins of BN and UMNO of what they had been doing for the last 50 years. The selected rakyat gets richer while the unselected rakyat still live in dilapidated house which is not suitable to be called a house. And yet they have the guts to say that they are serving the rakyat irrespective of status race and creed.
I stayed in a kampong or is it a kampung at the suburb of Alor Setar City and is within the city itself. I left the kampung in the 70s to work in Sabah and now in year 2008 there isn oghing much change except for more houses being built. It is the same old kampung for the last 34 years. And they call that uplifting the livelihood of the resident? Bullshit. That is only an example of one in a thousand other sad state of the rakyat's living status.
Back to the Saturdays and Sundays I think most people in the country was looking towards Terengganu, the only state that has not settle down after the election. The state has been without the government for two weeks and a state of uncertainty looms over the land of the crying turtles.
The issue if appointing the MB became complicated. On one hand the PM appointed DS Idris Jusoh as the MB and he had the backing of 22 state aseemblymen who won during the election. While Datuk Ahmad Said said 8 out of 9 UMNO division head in Terengganu has been lobbying for him to become MB.
DS Ahmad Said was present at the istana for the swearing in ceremony but instead turn into a handing of the watikah and no swearing in. DS Idris's men headed by Datuk Rosol Wahid who lead the 22 ADUNS handed a letter of protest and was not allowed admittance inti to istana.
DS Idris Jusoh said that based on the election, the rakyats wanted him and BN to lead the state. Are you sure the rakyat wanted you? They voted for BN does not mean they wanted you back as MB. Maybe they vote back BN with the ope someone else become the MB.
After DS Ahmad Said accepted the appointment by the istana, he was sacked by UMNO for act of betrayal to the President of UMNO who is PM. Now betrayed more? DS Ahmad or the PM? PM was also appointed by the King who coincidently is also the Sultan of Terengganu. So by appointing someone that was not in favour of Sultan Mizan, is not an act of betrayal?
The Sultan rules the state and the peoples representatives are just people who run his state and as a matter of hierarchy, the Sultan has the authority to appoint who he wanted to run his state. And he choose DS Ahmad Said.
A MB must represent a majority of the party that win an election. Now DS Ahmad Said is not a member of UMNO, and being an independent representative, has no right to lead the state legislative. Is that not complicated because it is not constitutional?
What will happen in the next two days is something that everybody is waiting to see. Wednesday is supposed to be the swearing in ceremony. However, whether DS Idris Jusoh or DS Ahmad Said becomes MB, I have nothing to win and nothing to loose. I will still be blogging because I have nothing to do, but I am not a jobless man.
