Unbelievable! The way former Sultan of Kelantan Tuanku Ismail Petra was waylaid and ambushed, abducted at gunpoint by members of the Special Action Unit of the Royal Malaysian Police in Kota Bharu, Kelantan a few months back!
Read here and here for more news.
Personally, I absolutely detest the way and manner by which a reigning Malay Sultan was unceremoniously handled by the special forces unit of the Royal Malaysian Police team shown here in the video above.
This video is shot by obviously a member of the UTK itself. Shows meticulous planning and ruthless carrying out of the mission to abduct the Sultan ( he was still in power then) and manhandle the Sultanah ( no matter how bad a person she was reported to be then) by grabbing her hand, shouting at her to get out of the MPV and the overall general rough handling of the entire episode!
I wonder what would have happened if let’s say the then Tengku Temenggong of Kelantan, Tengku Fakhry had used his firearm to protect his parents?
We would have had a bloodbath resulting in the killing of the Kelantan Royal Family minus the Crown Prince ( now Sultan of Kelantan) and his other siblings who were not in the entourage led by Tengku Fakhry to take his parents to the airport to fly them to Singapore for the ailing Sultan to seek medical treatment!
I can just assume that this whole episode was well planned and the Kelantan PAS State Government must surely have been informed of this decision to stop the ailing Sultan Tuanku Ismail Petra from being flown to Singapore.
The Majlis Raja Raja Melayu’s failure to speak on this matter and their consequential approval of this obvious coup in taking over control of the Kelantan Sultanate doesn’t augur well for the future safety and security of the reigning Malay Sultans.
When Their Majesties fail to voice out and condemn such a rough handling and abduction at gunpoint of one of their brother Sultans, then what guarantee is there that we might not see the same take place anytime in the near future when a Crown Prince gets too impatient to take over the throne and force his royal father out as what has happened with Tuanku Ismail Petra?
What guarantee is there that any of the other Malay Sultans won’t fall sick and become handicapped in the future?
As it is, many of our Malay Sultans are already in their late 70s or 80s. Who can vouch for the aged Sultans not to be mistreated the same way that Tuanku Sultan Ismail Petra has been forced out of his royal throne?
This unprecedented royal coup is just not that healthy to begin with and the way the Majlis Raja Raja Melayu have rubberstamped and given their consent to the new Sultan of Kelantan is now entered into the chapters of our Constitutional Monarchy’s history books as a turning point in the future of this country’s Malay Sultanates.
Do not cry foul later when it happens again to anyone of Your Royal Highnesses?
Que Sera Sera…
Whatever will be ; will be…

I wish to share with those of you who understand Malay the following pantuns:
Urat kayu tengah halaman,
Bila terbelah menjadi layu ;
Adat Melayu zaman berzaman,
Bila tersalah berilah tahu.
Bila terbelah menjadi layu,
Bila terkerat mohon elokkan;
Bila tersalah berilah tahu,
Bila tersesat mohon luruskan.
Adat Melayu bersendi syarak,
Syarak bersendi ke Kitabullah;
Adat Melayu pantang di anjak,
Dianjak sekali tentu menyalah.
Syarak bersendi ke Kitabullah,
Ditudung payung Sunnah Nabi;
Dianjak sekali tentu menyalah,
Binasa kampong rosaklah negeri!

Salam Mahaguru,
PAS doesn't believe in the Sultanate system, although the major factor of their big win in 1990 election is the support from the palace. They talked about caliphate government but yet contest and campaign like the catholic Romans. They claim they are upholding the Sunnah but yet act more like the wahabbis and khawarij. Anyway, this only shows that once you're no good to them (PAS) anymore, Royals or not, out you go!
Wa'alaikumsalam bro!
Bullseye I must say!
You have stated out loud what I and I believe many millions of other of our fellow Malaysians have been keeping pent up in our like minded hearts!
Thanks so much!
Very sad!
That this happened is the state that claim to be more Islamic than others.
That this happened to a Sultan yang Berdaulat.
That no action is taken by the Government follow-up this incident.
That Government employee (UTK) being used for the benefits of those greedy in power.
Subhanallah.
Sedih melihat negaraku yang berdaulat ini!!!
I am more inclined to believe the role of the Federal Government in this incident. The UTK, Armed Forces and Police are federal bodies under the command of the Federal government. Pointing fingers at the state government seems like blaming them for something which they have no control over. The mainstream media too, did not report extensively on this incident which they seem to be very prone to exaggerating incidents which put Pakatan state governments in bad light. I am puzzled why they were so quite on this.
Zul, why would the Federal govt wanna do that? What do they stand to gain?
Those who have been following up on what has been happening in the Kelantan Palace would surely know of the scandals that took place involving the Tengku Temenggong and his wife and the strained relationship between the Crown Prince and Tengku Fakhry?
The only party that stands to gain from the removal of Tuanku Sultan Ismail Petra as the Sultan of Kelantan and Tengku Fakhry would be the PAS State government, don't they?
Blaming each and everything on the Federal government is just convenient for those who think that the general Malaysian public knows nuts about what's going on in Kelantan?
As internet users, its important for us to look at things from a wider perspective and not just parrot what blinkered minds spew out in the name of politics?
Polly ticks obviously!
kenapa polis begitu biadap sekali?
sedih tengok polis melayu berkelakuan sebegitu
Tuan Mahaguru,

Cuma saya ingin khabarkan yang saya cuba menyahut saranan Tuan Mahaguru mengenai artikel yang saya muatkan sebelum ini, di sini – Sketsa – History of Obe City (KaBel-in-My-Mind Part 2), yang juga bersempena dgn matapelajaran Sejarah yang mesti lulus.
Terima kasih dan Salam sejahtera.
Tuan Semua,
Kuasa Allah SWT yang menentukan segalanya tanpa mampu digugat oleh sekelian makhluknya.
Nampaknya macam ada konspirasi antara Kelantan State Gov and Federal Royal Police Force..gitu ke TG58.
Pelik dan ajaib. Penin Lalat hambaAllah rakyat jelata.
Apa yang penting, sekarang. Siapa yang ditakdirkan Allah SWT Al Sulatan Kelantan sekarang. Saya rasa ada hikmahnya.
Allah Hu Akbar, Daulat Tuanku.
