Pahang’s Tengku Hassanal calls for firm action over Muhyiddin’s Nenggiri speech

PETALING JAYA: Tengku Mahkota of Pahang, Tengku Hassanal Ibrahim Alam Shah has expressed his anger at Perikatan Nasional chairman Muhyiddin Yassin over his recent remarks on not being given the prime minister’s post.

Tengku Hassanal said Muhyiddin “deliberately” disparaged the role of the Sultan of Pahang, Al-Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, during his tenure as the 16th Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

“His statement is extremely dangerous as it openly incites the public to lose trust in the Malay rulers and sows division among the people,” he said in a statement issued by Istana Abdulaziz, Kuantan.

In a ceramah during the Nenggiri by-election campaign, Muhyiddin claimed that “for some reason” he was not invited by Sultan Abdullah to be sworn in as prime minister after GE15 despite “having the numbers” needed to form the government.

Muhyiddin is expected to provide a statement to the police tomorrow regarding his speech, which allegedly touched on the sensitive issues of race, religion, and royalty (3R).

Yesterday, inspector-general of police Razarudin Husain said 29 reports were lodged by various parties over Muhyiddin’s speech.

Tengku Hassanal stressed that Sultan Abdullah did not make the decision lightly and had exercised his powers in accordance with Articles 40(2) and 43(2) of the Federal Constitution.

“At the time, His Majesty consulted constitutional experts, top civil servants, and sought the views of the Council of Rulers before making the decision.

“Parliament also passed a motion of confidence in Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on Dec 19, 2022,” Tengku Hassanal added.

“As such, the result of the confidence vote clearly aligns with Sultan Abdullah’s considerations when Anwar Ibrahim was made prime minister.”

Tengku Hassanal urged the police to take firm action against Muhyiddin for intentionally stirring sentiments on the 3R issues.

“I also advise all politicians to steadfastly uphold the principles of the Rukun Negara and continue uniting the rakyat, so that Malaysia, as a multiracial country, can become a developed nation with economic excellence, a sustainable environment, and a happy populace,” he said.
