Oneupmanship

I know that oneupmanship is common in politics, but this is kinda rediculous.

LKS was roundly lambasted for protesting the Sultan's choice for Menteri Besar of Perak and threatening to boycott the proceedings. He later retracted and apologised after being trashed by various parties.

Meanwhile in Trengganu, 22 elected assemblymen staged a protest outside the Istana Tetamu as Datuk Ahmad Said received his letter of appointment from the Sultan's representative. Ruling component parties as well as National leadership from KL have also opposed the move by the Sultan to reject their choice for Menteri Besar.

There have been subsequent calls to sack Datuk Ahmad Said the Menteri Besar Designate from his party for accepting the Sultan's appointment.

Now, mind you the Sultan of Terengganu is not only the Sultan of Terengganu, but also the current Yang Dipertuan Agung and King of Malaysia. Now, that's oneupmanship for you.
