An Elf & Some Monkeys Stir Shit In Perak

the-malaysian

An elf by the name of Elfi Mat Noor led a group calling itself "Suara Rakyat Perak" (Voice of the People of Perak) Sunday and handed over a memorandum to Sultan Azlan Shah of Perak objecting to a statement by DAP advisor Lim Kit Siang which called on DAP assemblymen in the state to boycott the swearing-in of the Menteri Besar, reports Bernama.

Lim had on Thursday instructed all 18 DAP assemblymen in Perak not to attend the swearing-in of the menteri besar that was to be held on Friday. However, due to certain developments the ceremony was postponed.

Also on Friday, Lim made an apology to Sultan Azlan Shah and the Regent of Perak Raja Dr Nazrin Shah and explained that it was not meant to question Sultan Azlan Shah and Raja Nazrin both whom he said he (Lim) held in high regard.

The group's spokesman Elfi Mat Noor said the memorandum was received by Raja Di Hilir Perak, Raja Jaafar Raja Muda Musa, who represented the Sultan, at Istana Kinta at 9am.

"In it we stated our undivided support for the royal institution in Perak and our exception to the statement made by Lim Kit Siang," he told reporters.

The group had earlier held a peaceful protest at the Ipoh Padang here.

***** It is this type of silly stunt done without thinking, among other things that made the people sick and tired of Umno-types in the first place. Obviously the mischievous elf along with his ragtag group of Umno no-hopers tried to capitalise on what occurred a few days ago and for which Mr Kit Siang had already apologised to the Royal family.

If at all any action is to be taken, His Royal Highness should tick off rank opportunists like the elf for attempting to involve the palace in a non-issue. They should be firmly told not to make a mountain where even a molehill doesn't exist.

Score: PKR-DAP-PAS - 1, Umno - 0.
