I refer to the Malaysiakini report: Kelantan princes fight for succession .

Royalty tends to transfix readers and always fodder for gossip. Sultans and their families, with all the trapping of power and wealth know that with power comes responsibility.

Thus they have to be on their best behaviour in public and their private lives must be beyond reproach.

I refer to the Malaysiakini report, 6 months jailed, RM 3,000 fine for cop biting MP .

George Orwell in his classic book Animal Farm wrote in one chapter "All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others". Considering the unequal treatment of people who commit crime in this country by the authorities, one can conclude that what the author wrote during his time rings true even today.
