I'm definite many would give a big YES, but things are no longer rosy for us Malaysians who yearn for peace, stability and hormony.
A new culture is fast taking shape in the Malaysians' way of life. The "demo" way, which was never heard of 50, 40 or 30 years ago. But today, this kind of "animal-like culture" is being encouraged, cultivated and advocated by people in power and those yearning for power.
In the past, we detest the West for their demonstration-inclined society but now look at us. Are we any different from them?
The sad thing is, this new culture is slowly but surely eroding the values and moral society we once were proud of.
No thanks to Anwar Ibrahim, the "Bapak Segala Bapak Demonstrasi Jalanan", this new culture is slowly but surely creeping into our lifes.
Actually Anwar is now tasting his own medicine. But it looks now UMNO or KJ to be more precise, has taken over the role from Anwar.
Demo here and there. Sikit sikit demo. Sikit sikit demo. Hari hari demo. Big issues also demo. Small issue also demo. Dah la demo, nak buat hari-hari pulak. Hoi, tak payak kerja ke. KJ ada bayar ke?
Is this way way of life?
Are we proud to brag to our next generations that we were party to this type of culture?
And this.
And what about this?
But the irony with us Malaysians is that condone or condemn these types of animality depending on whims and fancies or rather depending on whether our interest being threatened or otherwise.
When it's against us, we condemn these animal-type behaviour to the fullest. But when it's against our political opponets, we condone it as if there's no tomorrow. What a hypoccite!!!
Let's take the current issue in hand as a test case. Why the demos against Nizar and Karpal? Nizar, for going against the Sultan's orders to resign? Not happy with Nizar's decision in ignoring the Sultan's order, bring him to court. Is that penderhakaan?
Karpal, for wanting to sue the Sultan? Wanting to. Has he? Nope. Even he had, was he wrong in suing the Sultan? Is the Sultan above the laws? Can't he be sued? The thing is that it's his right to sue anybody he feels aggrieved with. Is that penderhakaan?
There is no longer such a vocab as derhaka in the modern royalty-subject relationship. In the past, the Sultan could sentence an errant rakyat to death as he was the law; and he was above the law. But in modern day, the Sultan is no longer above the law.
Talking about Umno's claim that its action was in protecting the royal sovereignty. Since when huh, KJ and his band of setiakawan jokers?
Is it since this incident in KT in March 2008?

Hallo abRO,
Derhaka atau tidak, susah nak cakap.
Tapi tulisan Mohd Rashidi Hassan dalam HarakahDaly ada logiknya.

Kalau dulu, Raja memang "berdaulat". Kata-katanya menjadi kenyataan. Kalau disumpahnya seseorang itu jadi batu. Sebabnya Raja berpegang teguh pada agama dan adat. Itulah sebabny dulu rakyat tak berani derhaka.
Tapi kini Raja lebih dasyat daripada rakyat biasa. Dengan kemewahannya, raja boleh berbuat apa-apa saja, termasuk maksiat dan lain-lain yang dilarang Allah SWT. Inilah sebabnya Raja kini sudah tidak berdaulat lagi. Kata-kata raja kini tak lebih dari kata-kata rakyat biasa. Sumpahan Raja dah tidak menjadi. Kalau rakyat derhaka pun, Raja tidak boleh sumpah-menyampah lagi.
Tapi kita masih perlu lagi mempertahankan institusi Raja sebagai satu simbol adat dan budaya kita. Namun setakat peranan "ceremonial" saja. Dan Raja mestilah bertindak mengikut landas undang-undang. Jika nak rakyat terus menghormatinya. Mesti berkecuali, tidak boleh berpolitik, tidak boleh memihak kepada mana-mana pihak. Mesti "apolitical".
Tapi kini tindakan sesetengah raja menghilangkan perasaan hormat rakyat. Bayangkan raja melarikan kereta (tidak mahu bayar duti); raja pinjam wang tidak mahu bayar balik; raja melarikan bini orang; raja bergaduh dalam pub; raja minum arak, berjudi, berpoya-poya. Raja-raja macam ini layakkah mendapat tunduk hormat rakyat biasa.
