AS I READ MY KING'S MESSAGE.

COUCHED IN REGAL PARLANCE, AS REPORTED, IS OUR KING SENDING THESE BLUNTLY SUBTLE MESSAGES:

To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Free those you are charging under the Emergency Ordinance immediately. In no way are they waging war against ME. Do not use MY name in vain.

To the Home Minister:

By what and whose authority are you banning the Bersih movement. The movement which began in 2007 was not banned. Their reasonable aspirations are the same, so why outlaw them arbitrarily now?

To the IGP and DIGP:

I appointed you as Chief and Deputy of POLIS DI-RAJA MALAYSIA. Do not bring my name into disrepute. You are to protect the rakyat and don’t be vindictive with your “No more talk anymore!” You will get the stick if you cannot use the carrot in crisis management! Protect MY people! Don’t threaten. When you hurt MY people you hurt ME! Release all and drop all charges!

To the Prime Minister:

Assiduously and with honesty put your 1MALAYSIA to practice. Your PEOPLE FIRST is fast appearing as UMNO first. Your PERFORMANCE NOW begs elucidating! Putrajaya belongs to the people. If they want it back you have to return it to the people. UMNO put you there, not the people……YET. Until then govern and administer with prudence and wisdom instead of with slogans.

To the Election Commission Chief:

You too have been appointed by ME to ensure that elections are free, fair and clean. As the Yang diPertuan Agong I too want the same for my people. I am fully aware of gerrymandering, phantom votes, misuse of postal votes, no provisions made for Malaysians overseas to exercise their constitutional right to vote, transferring of voters without their knowledge and lastly but most importantly – be independent! You answer to me and not to the Prime Minister. Honor my NAME by undoing all the wrong-doings that have compelled my people to want to come to me because of your biasness.

To Bersih 2.0 Steering Team:

Your message has been clear of uncertainties, free from partisanship, and fair in demands. It has resonated well with the rakyat as evidenced by the prodigious support. Tread carefully, stay focused as you follow your heart, be steadfast but not vindictive, be civil, seek judicious advice and let only good sense prevail. We have faith in what you will collectively and consensually decide. Seek our King’s counsel and Honor our King!
