NSTnation: According to Kepala Batas MP Datuk Seri Reezal Merican Naina Merican , the insinuation that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (King) “has overturned a democratic election result” is especially malicious. TheGuardian
Kepala Batas member of parliament Datuk Seri Reezal Merican Naina Merican said the op-ed entitled “The Guardian view on a royal coup: a king overturns a historic election”, has portrayed recent political developments in Malaysia in a negative, biased and unconstructive manner.
He added, against the backdrop of the collapse of the Pakatan Harapan government, the King had taken extra care when discharging his constitutional role by taking the unprecedented step of personally interviewing all 222 members of parliament with a view of determining a candidate “who in his judgement is likely to command the confidence of the majority of the members of that House”.
“The article also appears to cast aspersions on the Prime Minister’s character, by painting him as an opportunist who manoeuvred to secure power while others were busy fighting amongst themselves, and that he is only a puppet of others. Reezal said it might surprise many that Pas had previously shared power at the federal level , and that it has continuously governed the state of Kelantan since 1990.
“Seen in this context, allegations that Pas will bring a ‘Taliban agenda’ at the federal level is merely irresponsible scaremongering by its political enemies, such as the DAP. “These are all facts which neither Pakatan leaders nor their supporters are willing to admit,” he noted.
