Some ministers feel they do NOT have to conform to their Pakatan manifesto promises which were made:

“This shows the Sultan’s wisdom in making his choice, picking someone who knows the university inside out over and above everything else,” the Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) politician was quoted as saying.
(a) i.a.w Mahathir, only because they did NOT expect to win majority rule,
(b) i.a.w Mahathir, the manifesto is not the Bible and is not ironclad in its pre-election promises (meaning they can be broken),
(c) just to deceive the goofy gullible guppies.
One of those bullshit promises was to ensure higher academic institutions stay independent of political influence.
But with the Education Minister Maszlee becoming IIUM president, the ultra-strong political influence in IIUM can no longer be denied, so what do his advisers tell us?
IIUM is an international university and is thus not bound by Malaysian political promises. But how do you reckon Maszlee became the university's president if he was NOT the Education Minister of Malaysia? Don't tell me it has been his handsome look? Wakakaka.
A promise is what it is, a declaration or assurance that one will do something or that a particular thing will happen. Are they saying Maszlee being a Muslim is not bound by silly things like manifesto promises, which as Mahathir informed us with all his wisdom, a manifesto is NOT a bible, meaning it can be fCk-ed kaukau as and when necessary.
Then they say there can be exceptions - why should Maszlee be that exception? Don't tell me again it has been his handsome look? Wakakaka again.
Now we read in MM Online that (from the words of Wan Saiful, one of Maszlee's advisers) that the Pahang Sultan appointed Maszlee as IIUM president, extracts as follows:
Wan Saiful, who is Maszlee’s special adviser in the ministry, told The Star that the Ruler made his choice as the constitutional head of the university.
“This shows the Sultan’s wisdom in making his choice, picking someone who knows the university inside out over and above everything else,” the Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) politician was quoted as saying.
Wan Saiful's utterance smells of the stink one usually associates with UMNO's intimidation to others to bloody shut up by using, to wit, the 'sacred cows' of religion, royalty and race.
The term 'sacred cow' means an idea, custom, or institution held to be above criticism. The term originated from British Colonial India where in that country the cow was (still is) deemed as a sacred and holy entity.

ancient Israelis praying to the sacred Golden Calf while Moses went hiking up a mountain to chitchat with YHWH |
 |
in Australia, the sacred cows are armed forces veterans from WWI & II, and farmers (more so during a drought) |
Yes sir, agama, raja dan bangsa are certainly 'sacred' in the Malay peninsula, and in the growing angry reaction to Maszlee making another Pakatan capati, Wan Saiful has had to resort to that to quell the outrage and teflonise his Towkay's position as the President of IIUM.
And Wan Saiful did it with a flourish by adding (just to make all protesters STFU) “This shows the Sultan’s wisdom in making his choice."
Now, who the fCk dares argue HRH Pahang has not been wise in helping Maszlee cover up a capati?
