Mutiny in Perlis

Outgoing Mentri Besar Shahidan Kassim has just discovered how outgoing he is.

Going out fast through the front door that is.

A few days ago, Pak Lah gave him a letter enabling his re-appointment as Mentri Besar of Perlis.

But guess what? Yep, didn’t happen.

Instead today, Shahidan, who is chairman of the state Barisan liaison committee, has discovered that the Raja of Perlis has given the consent to another man: Mohamed Isa Sabu.

Why did Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin do this?

Shahidan believes this is the work of two Umno leaders Radzi Sheikh Ahmad and Azmi Khalid. Going against Pak Lah’s wishes, they nominated Mohamed Isa Sabu, who is Bintong assemblyman, and the Raja of Perlis, consented.

If only someone could interview the Raja of Perlis. If only someone could interview all the Raja-Raja of the country.

Then we’ll see the big picture.

Why did Radzi Sheikh Ahmad and Azmi Khalid go against the wishes of Pak Lah? Hmm …
