S’gor Sultan: Democracy is the most important, do not distort the constitution

(Suara kEADILan) – The Selangor Sultan advised that democracy was the most important principle because it allowed the people to take charge of their own destiny.

Opening the second term of the 12th Selangor legislative assembly, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah warned against distorting the federal and state constitutions for personal and political motives.

“I urged all parties, especially the people of Selangor to fully respect and follow the constitutions,” the Ruler said. “The views of the people are the best indicator on the success or failure of the administration of any state.”

Sultan Sharafuddin also called on the different races to unite and not participate in street protests that disrupted peace and racial harmony.

“I urge all parties to stop actions which will affect Malaysia’s image and focus instead on fostering stronger ties among all races.”
