SOVEREIGNTY, LEGITIMACY AND AUTHORITY

Assalamualaikum everyone......

what we feel about sovereignty, legitimacy and authority..? we want to discuss it overally,,, we've not too agreed with sovereignty use in Malaysia for the king... we think we should use absolute monarch for the kings.... nowadays, king just like a puppet... useless... otherwise we still need to respect them even they don't manage this country........ 


Miss Fisha: 
I think you're still confuse with all the concepts. Sovereignty is to illustrate the supremacy. Be it absolute or constitutional monarch, the King still posses the same sovereignty -- what's the different is lies on the degree of supremacy. 


"King just like a puppet?" -- it is a matter of perception because the King still has power to over rule some of collective decisions made by the government. Perak and Terengganu cases? Ringing any bell?

LEGITIMACY....????? for our country, the leader gain the legitimacy by time... after we achieve independence, we still the same government because peoples more trust the old one than the others... besides, we also use the leader from the winner government after the election, not to other countries that they've choose the president just like USA and Indonesia... 


Doesn't really explained the 'power' of legitimacy.

AUTHORITY.....,,,,,,, mmmmmm!!!!!!!!........ authority is how someone gonna obtain his/her power( if we not mistake,, forgive us if it's wrong.) Each leaders have their authority by using different ways... Tun Dr. Mahathir gain his authority by his charismatics,, he brave to do anything that he think possibly right... compare to Datuk Seri Najib,,,, he gain the authority by cultivate peoples love to him... such as he was decreasing the petrol price... he also inspired the 1Malaysia campaign... even we don't know what it's for,,, but we still get enjoy the campaign such 1Malaysia futsal competition and 1Malaysia clinic.. besides that,, he also have the leadership blood.. he heritage the leadership from his father, Late Tun Abdul Razak also the our ex-prime minister...... so.. that 's all from us,,, sorry because we late.........;(


Leadership blood? Such a new term you coined out. Anyway, I doubted about it ... =p
