driftkingii,
I don't know much about royalties and in fact, not very much on malaysian politics too but I just don't see much of what the royal family is doing with the current state of the country, since Mr Lah don't seem to be giving a shit about the country other than ordering water cannons to be blasted and tear gas released at citizens who are just doing much other than standing in a large group and doing some mouth action.
Then again, other than the royal family, BN has now shown that they have no mercy towards the citizens and they don't give a shit about the country. I would believe that although, and maybe, nothing good will come out from the royal family but at least this rally has shown the world just how screwed up and inhumane the current ruling party is. Time for a change. I think I shall reconsider casting vote again... but not to BN or UMNO, or whoever related to them.
