The following Umno groups made police reports against Karpal Singh for insulting the institution of rulers.
1) Penang Umno Youth, represented by Balik Pulau Umno division Youth chief, Azian Ariffin.
2) Gagasan Pemuda Wawasan Bayan Baru led by its chairman, Shujur Zainal Abidin
3) Persekutuan Silat Kebangsaan (Pesaka) Pulau Pinang.
4) Six Kedah Umno Divisions of Sungai Petani. (Sik, Merbuk, Jerai, Padang Serai, Kulim Bandar Bahru & Sungei Petani)
5) 4 Umno divisions in Alor Setar (Padang Terap, Pokok Sena, Pendang & Alor Setar))
6) The Tenggaara Umno division of Kota Tinggi represented by its youth chief, Abdul Halim Jalil
7) The Tebrau Umno division of Johore Baharu represented by Youth deputy chief Datuk Abdul Halim Sulaiman.
8) About 100 residents of several villages in Seri Medan in Batu Pahat gathered to voice displeasure at the DAP chairman before their leader, Azmi Rahim, made a police report .
Now the Malaysian Muslim Lawyers Association (PPMM) is questioning the legality of the Pahang Sultan's decision to commute Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno's caning sentence. Hey, isn't this the same crime as that of Karpal.
The Kedah Association of Royalty has called on the authorities to ban the entry of DAP chairman Karpal Singh to Perak for being rude to Sultan Azlan Shah and described Karpal's outlandish remarks as uncivilised and could influence others to make seditious remarks against the Rulers. So what goes round has really comes round. PPMM is questioning the authority of the King. Isn't this seditious and trecherous?
Where are the voices of protests and reports from all the above umno groups? Running back into their various holes I suppose. I dare you to make reports on PPMM.
But I do want to commend and fully support the Sultan for making the right decision. It is his love and compassion for the welfare of his subjects that is the deciding factor, not any archaic law.
