Once upon a time in the whimsical kingdom of Lojitengara, there reigned a king with more titles than a library shelf—King Dawala , Prabu Welgeduwelbeh, Kantong Bolong, Dublajaya, Pentungpinanggul, Jengglongjaya, Welgeduwelbeh Tongtongsot, Surogendelo and Bambang Pecruk Panyukilan. As his term neared its grand finale, the kingdom buzzed with tales of his extravagant escapades.
King Dawala, ever the showman, decided that his face needed to be everywhere. From golden statues to diamond-encrusted portraits, he spared no expense. Critics, of course, had a field day, claiming he was more interested in securing a political legacy than ruling the kingdom. "A dynasty, you say? Why not!" chuckled the king, as he endorsed his son, Bambang Lengkungkusuma a.k.a Veeveevaavi, for the next election. Eyebrows were raised so high they nearly touched the kingdom's taxes.
Meanwhile, the kingdom's democratic institutions were turning into Dawala's personal playground. Anti-corruption measures? More like anti-navel measures. Legislative changes? Tailored to fit his family like a bespoke suit. Critics were not amused, but Dawala carried on, undeterred.
As his term wound down, Dawala's focus shifted to grandiose infrastructure projects, including the $45 billion new capital city. Critics dubbed it the "Monument to Me," questioning whether it was an extravagant use of public funds or a necessary step for national development. The jury was still out, but the critics were definitely in.
Despite the hullabaloo, Dawala's approval ratings remained sky-high, thanks to his surveyor wizardry. Financial assistance programs kept the masses happy, but skeptics wondered if these ratings were as inflated as the kingdom's currency. Social pressures or genuine love? You decide.
In summary, while King Dawala enjoyed considerable popularity due to his buzzers, his recent self-branding escapades and familial political maneuvers had critics in a tizzy. As he prepared to exit stage left, the legacy he left—marked by both infrastructural marvels and political shenanigans—would likely keep Lojitengara's gossip mills churning for years to come.
Indeed, the King decided on this course of action after his apologies seemed to fall on deaf ears. Observers noted that King Dawala had apologized to the public so many times that when surveyors asked, "Was the King's apology accepted?" those on one side said, "No way, Jose!" while the others chimed in, "Please, darling, just no..."
