Sultan of Selangor firm in defending rights of the Malays, Bumiputeras and Islam

(MM) - Firm action by the Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, in defending the rights of the Malays, bumiputeras and the sanctity of Islam is eagerly awaited by the people.

Former inspector-general of police Tun Mohammed Haniff Omar said this is evident in his speeches and shows the royal institutions is still strong in defending the rights of the Malays, position of the Malay rulers and Islam.

The three matters enshrined in the federal constitution should not be raised as the Malays had contributed so much to the development of this country.

“During the formation of Malaysia, the Chinese and the Indians accepted that the Malay rulers and the Malays had given invaluable contribution.

“However, there are leaders and a handful of people who mock and challenge them and don’t care about the feelings of the Malays.

“Its like a grand design that if left uncontrolled, can destroy this country.

“The Sultan’s firm action in dealing with this issue is eagerly awaited by the people,” he said at the royal tea reception with government retirees to mark the 68th birthday celebration of the Sultan of Selangor at Istana Alam Shah, here today.

Sultan Sharafuddin was pleased to attend the function with government retireees for the third consecutive year.
