00:00Don't drag the monarchy into politics.
00:06This is what the Sultan of Salangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah said in his National
00:11Day message, adding that the royal institution is above politics.
00:15He said any form of criticism or feedback concerning the monarchy should be prudently
00:19communicated through the appropriate channels.
00:23He also called on politicians to refrain from engaging in politics of hate, a trend he noted
00:28is still prevalent despite his frequent appeals for unity.
00:33Sultan Sharafuddin also said differences in terms of race, religion and political beliefs
00:38should not prevent Malaysians from being loyal to the country.
00:42He added that these differences should be harnessed to foster a united, pluralistic
00:46society through programs that bridge divides and eliminate prejudices.
