Raja Nazrin on role of rulers and justice
KUCHING: The rulers should not agree with advice given by government leaders that goes against the spirit of the Constitution, rule of law and universal principles of justice.
"Generally, the rulers act based on the advice of government leaders who are elected by the people," said Raja Muda of Perak Raja Dr Nazrin Shah on Thursday."Nevertheless, the rulers cannot accede to acts which do not symbolise justice or sanction moves which do not mirror truth."The rulers' views, observation and counsel in the administrative affairs of the country touching on the question of integrity, which encompasses justice, law, judiciary, misappropriation, power abuse, corruption and wealth distribution, are with the desire to strengthen the government so that it is stable and receives people's trust," he said in conjunction with the National Integrity Day here.To ensure the rulers' integrity is not questioned and the throne remains respected, Raja Nazrin said the rulers should act wisely, master knowledge, understand the surroundings and changes and possess a group of advisers comprising experts and people knowledgeable in the relevant fields.
"This will enable the rulers to fulfil their roles with integrity and make smart, accurate, just and fair decisions."Present were Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud and Chief Justice Tan Sri Zaki Azmi

Thank-you very much for your kind comments.It was indeed most heartening to feel appreciated. However this blog is still very much in its infancy.It was more geared towards "parking" legal information in one place so that there would be no need to browse all over the internet.As for the contest, thank-you for the invitation. The topics are rather interesting.I regret that I am unable to participate but will do my utmost to inform others.It will most certainly inspire others to be more reflective of current issues. Allow me to extend my compliments to those of you involved.Keep up the good work.
