Silence is golden on palace move

New millennial Sultan: The Kelantan royal family feels very comfortable with the PAS state government, but the palace had an acrimonious relationship with Dr Mahathir when he was prime minister. (Inset) Dr Mahathir, who was briefly warded at Institut Jantung Negara for a chest infection last week, has kept mum about the revocation of his Kelantan title.

THERE has been an uneasy silence among the main political players in Kelantan over the dramatic revocation of titles by the Sultan of Kelantan.

It was a mini earthquake because of the personalities affected and also because Kelantan is one state where the palace bond with the people is still very strong.
