00:00A former Deputy Unity Minister has hailed Selangor Menteri Besar Amiruddin Shari's call for parties not to practice selective loyalty
00:09to Sultan Sharifuddin Idris Shah, calling it courageous and rare.
00:13Diliang Kerr said that in a polarized political landscape filled with extreme rhetoric, Amiruddin had chosen to speak based on
00:21principle, not political market demand.
00:23In a Facebook post, he said Malaysia needs more leaders willing to defend principles even when it is unpopular, not
00:30leaders who merely follow the demands of political theater and populist sentiment.
00:35Yesterday, Amiruddin said that certain parties would use the pretense of defending the royal institution, race or religion when they
00:42were actually looking to bolster their political position.
00:45He said the real struggle was not about who shouts the loudest in the name of race, religion or royalty,
01:02but who governs with honesty, responsibility and integrity for the sake of the people.
