“Not only is UMNO messing with the country’s supreme law, it is flying straight in the face of the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong, effectively telling the Ruler, “we are going to decide for the Prime Minister you appointed when elections should be held, whether you like it or not”

The Yang Di-Pertuan Agong should regard Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi as a national security threat or risk and hold him accountable for a decision made by the UMNO Supreme Council.
According to party Secretary General Datuk Ahmad Maslan, the Supreme Council decided that the 15th general election must be held this year, and the Prime Minister will propose a date for the dissolution of parliament, based on this decision.
The funny thing is, Ahmad Maslan also noted that the Prime Minister would propose this date to the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong pursuant to Article 40(1) of the Federal Constitution of Malaysia.
See the catch?
Article 40(1) of the Federal Constitution of Malaysia, as with all other articles of said constitution, is party blind.
This means, political parties have no say whatsoever in the advise rendered by the Prime Minister to the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong.
UMNO knows this, as Ahmad Maslan himself made clear mention of Article 40(1) in his press statement.
UMNO also knows that Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri’s appointment as Prime Minister has nothing to do with his membership in the party.
Yet, Zahid led a Supreme Council meeting that effectively told the Prime Minister to make sure that the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong is advised to dissolve parliament this year.
Is this not called “trampling over the Federal Constitution of Malaysia?”
The way I see it, not only is UMNO messing with the country’s supreme law, it is flying straight in the face of the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong, effectively telling the Ruler, “we are going to decide for the Prime Minister you appointed when elections should be held, whether you like it or not.”
Is this not called “challenging the country’s sovereign?”
Zahid chaired the meeting that did this, and he has steadily increased pressure on the Prime Minister to trigger a snap election with contradictory reasons that make no sense whatsoever.
Despite not enjoying the support of all division and branch leaders, Zahid has clamped down on dissent by sacking and suspending those not in favor of him.
After having done that, he called for a grand assembly at Menara Onn. It seems as if he is presenting a “superficial show of force” to the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong before the general election after having ‘challenged’ the Ruler.
Does this not qualify as a threat to national security?
Correct me if I am wrong…
