Nepe Sir, Seems like you have this big scar called monarchy and cannot seem to get rid of it no matter how much "malam" you put on it. Monarchy in any context makes you sick from inside. After JA-II, constitutional monarchy is pretty much dead and let us not even talk about absolute monarchy. However, I failed to fatom what the problem is with ceremonial role as I understand it? Well, as long as they walk around like bunch of boka and bokis, cutting ribbons and posing for that Kodak moment ONLY, I don't see any problems. But then really what the hell is ceremonial monarchy? Maybe we ought to have a clarification on that first. Are republic and ceremonial monarchy mutually exclusive by standard definition? do they even have to be?
