ROYAL ADVICE: Rule of law, upholding Constitution must be core of efforts, says king.
KUALA LUMPUR: YANG di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah
wants all quarters, regardless of race and beliefs, to support efforts
by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to restore national unity.
He wants principles, like parliamentary democracy, constitutional
monarchy, diversity, upholding the Constitution and the rule of law, to
be made the core of the process.
"Restoring national understanding should be made a national priority by all quarters.
"Whether Malaysia continues to succeed and achieve the status of a
high-income developed country, or a failed country, will depend on the
understanding among us.
"Therefore, I want all quarters to preserve and further strengthen the
current bond of unity," said the king at the investiture in conjunction
with his birthday at Istana Negara here yesterday.
He also cautioned quarters attempting to sow animosity and create rifts
among the people for the sake of their agenda to cease the
unconstitutional acts.
He said strengthening national unity should not be regarded a task and
responsibility of certain quarters only, but should be an agenda for all
Malaysians.
"I want the government, under the leadership of the prime minister, to
ensure every national development policy is based on a principle that
promotes diversity.
"The reality is our future is inter-related and we need one another.
All my subjects, regardless of race and religion, should not be
neglected."
Tuanku Halim also reiterated the need for all quarters to accept the results of the 13th General Election.
"If there are differences of opinions or dissatisfaction, use the
existing court mechanism as provided under the Federal Constitution and
the country's laws." Bernama
