A constitutional blunder by Najib

“COMMENT The first task that Najib Abdul Razak faced upon being sworn in as prime minister on May 6, 2013 after leading the BN to victory in the 13th general election, was to form the cabinet.

Constitutionally, the prime minister does not have a free hand in his choice of cabinet ministers. Article 43(2)(b) of the federal constitution provides that cabinet members shall be "members of either House of Parliament".

Traditionally, the cabinet is dominated by members elected by the people to serve in the Dewan Rakyat. However, prime ministers often do appoint a few cabinet members from the Senate (Dewan Negara).”

2.0 What will PM do to rectify constitutional blunder?

What will PM do to rectify constitutional blunder?


“MalaysianTsunami:  Reading this article and the posted comments here reminds me of the fable ‘The Bell and the Cat'.

Everyone here wants the bell on cat but nothing is said about who should do it and how. My advice is for everyone to do his little bit.

Call for more Bersih events, join the rallies, support the student movement, put some money in the donation boxes, boycott state-run media and events, write constructive comments with actionable items and perhaps the most important, unite as a nation by bridging the rural-urban divide.”


3.0 Ke manakah negara kita akhirnya?


Bayangkan, perlantikan senator tidak boleh diundur tarikhnya (to be backdated).

Bayangkan, kita selalu percaya dan yakin perlembagaan mestilah sentiasa dijunjung kerana ia supreme.

Bayangkanlah,  ke manakah negara kita dibawa mereka?
