Guests at the installation of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong at Istana Negara today Bernama pic |
Earlier, a Facebook user from Terengganu had claimed that Najib’s seat was changed as another individual allegedly did not want to be seated near the Pekan MP.
Abdul Rahim Hilmi Zakariya said the protocol by the palace dictates that Najib be seated four chairs away from Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
Rahim said the alleged attempt to change the seating arrangements was disrespectful and reeked of arrogance.
“It is unstatesmanlike,” he wrote on Facebook.
He went on to claim that Najib was moved to another seat reserved for the “Orang Besar Pahang”.
Wakakaka, today I read MM Online's Najib says absent from Agong’s installation because seat swapped at last minute.

Extracts say:
KUALA LUMPUR, July 31 — Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak asserted today that his absence from the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s installation yesterday was because his seating position was changed early in the morning.
He wrote on Facebook to say he was called at 6.30am and informed he would not be sitting in his previously assigned position as a former PM but would instead with the Pahang nobility.
“The ceremonial costume for Pahang nobles and that of former PMs are different. Each position has its protocol.
“By then there was no time to gather the clothes from Pekan,” he said.
Najib’s former special officer Isham Jalil alleged in a news report today that Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad forced the change by threatening to boycott the event if Najib was seated near him.
According to Utusan Malaysia, Isham claimed Dr Mahathir was jealous of Najib’s popularity and wanted to prevent the ex-PM from attending.
Separately, the Prime Minister’s Office denied any involvement in the change, saying the matter was entirely decided by Istana Negara’s protocol division.
Wakakaka again, such a low class mean-spirited Mamak - a real pariah, Podah.
Vindictive Mamak Tak Mudah Lupa....ha ha ha.....

Mahathir no longer invited to inauguration of Malaysia's new King
DEC 8, 2016
Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has been snubbed by the country's Malay Rulers in the upcoming inauguration of the new King, amid his increasingly bitter feud with incumbent PM Najib Razak.
The invitation from the Conference of Rulers to Dr Mahathir Mohamad to attend the installation of the 15th Yang di-Pertuan Agong on Dec 13 at the Istana Negara in Kuala Lumpur has been withdrawn, Malaysiakini reported on Thursday (Dec 8), citing Dr Mahathir's aide.
The aide, who was not named, said a letter on the revocation dated Dec 5 was hand-delivered to Dr Mahathir's office at the Perdana Leadership Foundation in Putrajaya on Wednesday.
Marked "sulit" (confidential) and bearing the signature of the Keeper of the Ruler's Seal Syed Danial Syed Ahmad, the letter says that no seat for Dr Mahathir would be provided at the event and that the former premier was being informed of this beforehand to spare him any embarrassment.
The letter has been circulated on social media, Malaysiakini reported. Dr Mahathir's daughter Marina also posted the letter on her Facebook page.
Dr Mahathir confirmed in a post on his blog on Thursday that he had received a letter saying he's been "uninvited".
"Turns out that a national event is part of a party's politics," he said. "I apologise for making the wrong assumption. I will bear in mind that the national palace belongs to Najib and the Barisan Nasional party."

Ya, what goes around , comes around.
DeleteGolden Rule.
But when it is carried out by Najib, it is perfectly OK acceptable, not considered low-class mean-spirited Bugis, pariah podah.
it depends on which side of the story you believe, unfortunately chabo choose to believe najib's former special aide who claim that maddy threatened to boycott because maddy is so jealous of najib's popularity? wakakakakiki, kt oh kt what has happened to you? I am astounded
ReplyDeletefirst of all, lets bear in mind such grand occasion needs months of planning and preparation, protocol is palace prerogative which means no outsider is involved any last minute changes would earn the wrath of the sultan himself, but for the sake of arguments lets assume somehow the pmo was involved and maddy is really sick of staring at najib's sorry face, would they not have put him at the shahbandar seat already? secondly can a pariah threaten to boycott an event a day before the actual occasion which najib`s troopers would like us to believe because that would render him insufficient time to be costumed? wakakaka, talk about guppies wakakaka
