Interesting Updates from Terengganu

Malaysian politics have reached a new height. This time around we see UMNO taking on the King.

To be fair, the Sultan of Terengganu (our King at the moment) should not have appointed the Menteri Besar of his choice without consulting the winning party, according to the constitution. However, the Sultan has the prerogative to reject any candidate which is deemed unsuitable. The Sultan should have rejected Idris Jusoh and asked for an alternative candidate to be submitted instead. The Sultan must have strong valid reasons to reject Idris. UMNO, on the other hand, must have millions billions of reasons to stick with Idris. I'm sure it has something to do with "where has all the oil revenue gone?" since Terengganu is blessed with oil fields.

Ever since the huge defeats suffered by Barisan Nasional in the General Election, a lot of drama have unfolded, e.g. in Perlis. The monarchs have chosen to be more vocal about the affairs of their states and people. UMNO, on the other hand has been very bold to challenge the monarchs head on. It's too early to tell what will be the outcome. Within UMNO, there must be a lot of plots behind the scene by various opposing parties despite most leaders still trying to show their 'support' to their 'naked emperor'. Crisis is always an opportunity. The next few days/weeks are going to be very interesting.
