malaysiakini and PMs who are IGNORANT of LAWS

Many of our Malaysian PMs were lawyers and the two most notable exceptions are Mahathir and Badawi.
The former is a doctor and the latter a religious scholar. We all know how Mahathir was able to change many laws to suit his agenda and we are living with many of the problems now.
So we have our PM now crying foul and moaning the fact that the Perak Speaker's decision to suspend the duplicate MB and Exco with the charge that They've disrespected sultan's decision.
It seems the BN believes that whatever they do is right and cannot be questioned. Of course, given the present unpopularity and some even say hate, hiding behind the royalty's shield is a convenient tactic.
It appears that when UMNO insults royalty like in Terengganu, it is perfectly OK but when others want to confront legal issues, the battle cry of "sedition" etc rings out loud.
Of course they can probably find some cause to arrest the speaker as under ISA but it would create a major rift in state-federal relations.
Keris rattling by the PM is a sure sign of frustration and does little to solve the problem.
