Sultan Nazrin tells Dewan Negara Perak members, palace dignitaries not to exploit royal ties for profit

KUALA KANGSAR, Oct 29 — The Sultan of Perak, Sultan Nazrin Shah, has warned members of the Dewan Negara Perak and dignitaries of the Royal Court against misusing the Ruler’s name, royal influence and their titles for personal gain, financial profit or business opportunities.

His Royal Highness also urged them not to allow themselves to be used to assist parties in an improper or questionable manner, or to exert undue pressure on anyone.

“Shun corruption, the abuse of power and any conduct that might give rise to suspicion or tarnish the reputation of the throne and the Royal Court.

“Never allow your position to become a means of seeking special privileges, accumulating personal wealth or interfering in matters beyond the scope of your responsibilities,” he decreed at the 175th Meeting of Dewan Negara Perak at Istana Iskandariah here today.

Sultan Nazrin also urged members of the Dewan Negara Perak and dignitaries of the Royal Court to remain vigilant and exercise sound judgement in communications, particularly when using social media channels and platforms.

“...exercise care and discretion in both word and deed. Matters entrusted to you in confidence must be safeguarded. Information whose accuracy has yet to be established must not be circulated.

“Opinions should be expressed with due propriety, without giving rise to slander or discord. In today’s world, a single remark or recording shared on social media can give rise to many different interpretations,” he said.

His Royal Highness also called on them to avoid disputes, power struggles and factionalism while maintaining close ties with the people.

He said public grievances must be heard and addressed, particularly those involving vulnerable groups such as senior citizens, persons with disabilities, orphans, low-income families and marginalised communities.

“Maintain good relations with people from every walk of life. Our State is home to people of diverse ethnicities, religions and backgrounds. Respect this diversity and work towards strengthening unity, in accordance with the Constitution and the law,” he said.

Sultan Nazrin said members of Dewan Negara Perak and royal dignitaries must understand the role of the monarchy within the framework of a constitutional monarchy.

“Respect the prescribed limits of authority and responsibility. Work professionally with the government and state institutions, without interfering in administrative affairs or using your position to advance partisan political interests,” he said.

The Sultan also encouraged them to continuously broaden their knowledge and improve their ways of working, understand societal changes, and make prudent use of technology.

The Sultan further stressed that every palace dignitary must set an example for their families, officers, staff and the wider community.

“Show that those who are close to the Ruler are equally committed to their responsibilities, and that those who are accorded honour also know how to honour others,” he added. — Bernama

瓜拉江沙，10月29日讯——霹雳州苏丹纳兹林沙警告霹雳州上议院议员和王室要员，不得滥用苏丹的名义、王室影响力和头衔谋取私利、经济利益或商业机会。

殿下还敦促他们不要让自己被利用去以不正当或可疑的方式帮助任何一方，也不要对任何人施加不正当的压力。

“远离腐败、滥用权力以及任何可能引起怀疑或玷污王室和宫廷声誉的行为。

“绝不要利用你的职位谋取特殊权利、积累个人财富或干涉超出你职责范围的事务，”他今天在霹雳州国会第175届会议上于伊斯坎达利亚宫颁布法令。

苏丹纳兹林还敦促霹雳州上议院议员和王室成员保持警惕，并在沟通中，尤其是在使用社交媒体渠道和平台时，要运用良好的判断力。

“……言行举止都要谨慎小心。受托保密的事项必须妥善保管。未经证实的信息不得散布。”

他说：“表达观点应该得体，避免诽谤或引发纷争。在当今世界，社交媒体上分享的一条评论或一段录音就可能引发多种不同的解读。”

殿下还呼吁他们避免争端、权力斗争和派系斗争，同时与人民保持密切联系。

他表示，必须倾听和解决公众的不满，特别是那些涉及弱势群体（如老年人、残疾人、孤儿、低收入家庭和边缘化社区）的不满。

“要与各行各业的人们保持良好关系。我们州居住着不同种族、宗教和背景的人们。要尊重这种多样性，并根据宪法和法律，努力加强团结。”他说道。

苏丹纳兹林表示，霹雳州上议院议员和王室成员必须了解君主制在君主立宪制框架内的作用。

他说：“要尊重既定的权力和责任范围。要以专业的态度与政府和国家机构合作，不要干预行政事务，也不要利用职权谋取党派政治利益。”

苏丹还鼓励他们不断拓宽知识面，改进工作方法，了解社会变化，并谨慎地使用技术。

苏丹进一步强调，每一位宫廷要员都必须为他们的家人、官员、工作人员和更广泛的社区树立榜样。

他补充说：“要表明，那些与统治者关系密切的人同样尽职尽责，那些受到尊敬的人也懂得如何尊重他人。”——马新社
