“Kerajaan sememangnya sedang memperdaya rakyat berkenaan isu Statut Rom kerana tahu bahawa sebilangan besar rakyat Malaysia tidak arif dalam hal-hal berkenaan Perlembagaan Persekutuan” – RJ Rithaudeen. Sumber (gambar): Fail TTF
THE THIRD FORCE
In popular Malay culture, to undermine the authority and (or) eminence of the Malay Ruler is tantamount to committing an act of perfidy (derhaka) the same way it is despicable for a son or daughter to undermine the authority of his (or her) father.
Given that the Malays are defined by the Federal Constitution of Malaysia as being Muslims by default, the Malay Ruler, being the Head of State, is also revered as the Head of Islam and is recognised as such by the Supreme Law.
Thus, any attempt seen to be in contempt of the Monarchical Institution or one that undermines the Ruler in any way is widely perceived by the Malay-Muslim community as an attempt to undermine the Head of Islam, and, by extension, the religion of Islam itself.
