Perak Sultan says respect the Constitution

"The Sultan of Perak, Sultan Azlan Shah, said any move which questions the interests of the Malays (in terms of scholarships and places of study )not only violates the fundamental provisions in the federal and state constitutions but also questions the sovereignty of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and the Malay Rulers."

After hearing Tuanku talk about respecting the Constitution, I am sure many Perakians are wondering why Tuanku was acutely silent when the Perak constitutional crisis occurred. Tuanku should have made an even more stronger statement about respecting the sovereignty of the Perak Constitution and Perak State Assembly.

As the constitutional monarch of Perak,this would be more fitting ,rather than comment on the Federal Constitution, of which the King is the constitutional monarch.

It is of course a common human trait to comment on others and Tuanku is after all, only human. As they say, 'Gajah didepan mata tak nampak.Kuman diseberang laut nampak".
