let common sense show the way

 

What the Constitution says

It has been laid down for all to read

But not every one can understand it

Because it is written in lawyer's mode


Article 40 will say

The King has to follow advice

Even though HRH may not agree

The request from the prime minister


The King can push it to Parliament

Let the members in the August debate on it

Only then HRH can put his signature

The document will then become the law


If the King wishes

He can ask the prime minister's majority stake

If the prime minister can't show he has the majority

The King will not heed his advice


Because the King can remove him

Under the case law in Perak of 2009

The Federal Court affirmed the decision to the late Sultan

The King should be cautious of any request from the Cabinet


Under Article 55 the King will call Parliament into session

Every 6 month from the last Parliament meeting

The King has to check otherwise Parliament can be dissolved

For failure to open Parliament right on schedule


Besides all politicians should show respect to the King

When the King issues an advice it mustn't be ignored

Just because of Article 40 a prime minister can ignore

In the case law the King still has his last card to show
