What Royal Immunity?
Negeri Sembilan Regent Tunku Naquiyuddin Tuanku Jaafar argued, “it really becomes nonsensical that a sovereign ruler can be taken to court for trying to protect the best interest of the nation. He must also be protected at all costs from pecuniary embarrassment so that his sovereignty is not tarnished or undermined. To put it another way, can we afford to have a ruler incarcerated or even made a bankrupt?”
My opinion is YES the ruler can be made a bankrupt from bad business deal. There are many cases in Malaysia where rulers/royalties think they are above the law and have taken their position for granted. History has shown many incidents like shooting, killing, cheating and the recent fight at a nightspot between the Negeri Sembilan and Johore princes. Everything has been swept under the carpet. Basically we the people are fed-up when confronted with this kind of sordid behaviour. Royalties must know their position and be on their best behaviour at all times.
We the people must show our displeasure and not allow the rulers to do God know what and get away with it.
So far the only senior Ruler I have the most respect for is the Sultan of Kedah. Follow by the Regent of Perak, Sultan of Selangor and our present Agong. The rest can consider themselves lucky they are not in Taiwan, where chairs and tables can be thrown at them.
My question to Tunku Naquiyuddin Tuanku Jaafar is; what protection to the nation is he referring to? His father the Sultan of Negeri Sembilan should be made a bankrupt because he makes a wrong decision, so why must he be immune from the law? Did the Quran said Royalties can commit crime and get away from it?
There is absolutely no doubt on everyone mind this country cannot afford to give the rulers/royalties back their full immunity.
