The existence of a clandestine 'deep state', as mentioned by Foreign Minister Saifuddin Abdullah in explaining Putrajaya's decision to withdraw from the Rome Statute, is worrying.

I read about the Roman Empire back in the days when brief histories of Greece and Rome were part of the school curriculum. There is hardly anyone of my generation who has not heard of Julius Caesar, Mark Anthony , and Cleopatra.

The man who has been called a dictator in the past admitted that he had to back down because critics of the ratification were attempting to work up the monarchy against the PH government and cause civil unrest. One could say that any right-thinking person would not find fault with this. However, in Malaysia, there are groups and individuals who persist in seeing everything through race and religion-tinted spectacles.

According to the report, the Facebook posting bears the names Asheeq Ali Sethi Alivi, Ainina Sofia Adnan, Nurhuda Ramli, Suhail Wan Azahar, Ahmad Taqiyuddin Shahriman, Wong Yan Ke, Chong Kar Yan, Nik Azura Nik Nasron, and Siti Nurizzah Mohd Tazali. Perhaps a think tank or a university should organise a forum where academics, senior lawyers and judges can be invited to give their views. Someone from the UN should also be invited to speak and clarify the position.

The media quoted him as saying: “[There was the] possibility of the issue being manipulated to the extent that people go to the streets, moved by the ‘deep state’ and certain apparatus.”

Highly irresponsible 2 play fear-politics when d blunder actually is d failure of govt 2 properly prepare all stakeholders 2 embrace d Rome Statute.

There’s time to be tough and act tough, and it takes courage to be tough. PH can’t just let them walked away with trophy! They will use same tactics again to threaten the government to get what they want. They will take the decision as proof of their new found power!

I AM SO SO SO SCARED.. UUUU TAKUTNYA
