YOURSAY | ‘Pahang is perhaps the last bastion of Umno. Let them legislate loyalty.'
Compelling any individual to show loyalty to rulers is feudalistic. No one is actually disloyal unless it's about sending tributes, if that is what Pahang Menteri Besar Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail is attempting to say.
What does it matter and why should the palace be involved in business decisions, which is not their business in the first place?Can one imagine the British prime minister saying from now on if businesses wish to apply for permits and licences, they have to show loyalty to Queen Elizabeth? A letter of loyalty from the king perhaps. Who issues this letter of loyalty? How do you measure whether an individual or company has been loyal? What about foreign companies?
This move will create hundreds of new jobs for jobless graduates. If successful, it will be a blueprint for other states to follow.First of all, it is difficult to quantify respect. Hence, making it impossible to objectively access qualification based on this matrix. Not to mention, it can be easily abused.
