Article presents a distorted account of the process by which the Yang di-Pertuan Agong appointed a new prime minister, says Comptroller of the Royal Household. FMTNews IstanaNegara

Istana Negara wishes to refer to the Guardian’s editorial entitled, “The Guardian view on a royal coup: a king overturns a historic election”, published on March 3, 2020.

As the Comptroller of the Royal Household of Istana Negara, I am appalled by the level of inaccuracy and the misleading tone of this editorial by a renowned UK-based media outlet, particularly given the fact that the subject matter, Malaysia’s parliamentary democracy, is based on the Westminster system.

He is also obligated by Article 43 of the Federal Constitution to appoint as prime minister a member of the House who in his judgment is likely to command the confidence of the majority of the members of that House. Hence, by no means can this process be regarded as a “royal coup” as questionably asserted by the Guardian, which has employed a highly partisan slant in its editorial.

Rakyat mandate should be taken into consideration too.

Where’s the list?

The way to end gossip is to be transparent...period!

In the interests of transparency, full disclosure of what each MP (and TSMY) told His Majesty would put all these misinterpretations to rest. The questions will remain otherwise. But I doubt that will happen 😉

Failure by the palace to disclose the number of MPs in favour of Muhyiddin Yassin as PM is the biggest mistake.

MP rebuts Guardian's claims of wrongdoing in PM's appointmentNSTnation: According to Kepala Batas MP Datuk Seri Reezal Merican Naina Merican , the insinuation that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (King) “has overturned a democratic election result” is especially malicious. TheGuardian It doesnt matter what u say ...it doesnt hold water...only if it can be shown in the dewan parlimen that he has the majority support..than everybody has to keep quiet ... Delaying parliamentary sitting makes things worse. Insinuations will not stop if majority support in parlimen not proven...rakyat need to see the numbers ...
