PM9: king can be guided by wishes of his subjects – The Vibes

[superadmin]

THESE next two days, eyes are once again on our monarchs as the future of the country – at least in these next two years – is put in the hands of our king.

Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah will once again be dragged into the political skirmish.

His Majesty had, time and again, through numerous statements called on our leaders to prioritise battling the Covid-19 pandemic and put the people’s welfare ahead of politics.

He also reiterated the need to abide by the principles of parliamentary democracy.

Yesterday, the king, along with his deputy Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah of Perak, met leaders from Umno, DAP, PKR, Bersatu, PAS, Amanah, Warisan and Pejuang at the palace. Their Majesties also met leaders of the parties that make up Gabungan Parti Sarawak via videoconference.

The king read them the “Riot Act” by emphasising that the appointment of a new prime minister must abide by the federal constitution; that the people cannot be further burdened by political instability in the wake of the pandemic; and, all MPs must show solidarity in battling the pandemic, which has seen frontliners stretched and exhausted.
