Nazri Aziz: Tony Pua Has No Rights To Stop Malay Rulers From Voicing Views On Islamic Matters

DAP Disciplinary Committee Chairman Tony Pua has no authority to prevent the Malay Rulers from expressing their views on matters involving Islam, says former law minister Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz.

Nazri said that as the constitutional monarchy system in Malaysia is built on a shared governance structure between elected representatives and the monarchy,

He added that Malaysia’s governance framework must be understood within both constitutional provisions and long-standing conventions, particularly in states with hereditary rulers who also serve as heads of Islam.

“We have nine states with Sultans or Rulers. People need to understand not only the Constitution but also the conventions that have long been practised in this country,” he told TRP when contacted.
