Dismissing royal pardon powers undermines Federal Constitution, says Puteri Umno chief

In her keynote address at the Puteri Umno General Assembly, Datuk Nurul Amal Mohd Fauzi emphasized that challenging the royal power to grant pardons undermines the Federal Constitution, citing Article 42 which entrusts this authority to the monarchy.

She stressed the importance of respecting the royal institution and safeguarding the Constitution beyond partisan politics.

The assembly, part of the 2026 Umno General Assembly at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur, was attended by prominent Umno leaders and international delegates, marking the 25th anniversary of Puteri Umno.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 10 — Puteri Umno chief Datuk Nurul Amal Mohd Fauzi today said that challenging or dismissing the royal power to grant pardons directly undermined the Federal Constitution.

During her keynote address at the Puteri Umno General Assembly, held in conjunction with the 2026 Umno General Assembly at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur, Amal described the royal institution as a key pillar of national sovereignty.

“Article 42 of the Federal Constitution grants the power of pardon to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, State Rulers, and Governors — challenging or dismissing this power directly undermines the Constitution itself.

“Respecting the Royal Institution and upholding the Constitution transcends partisan politics.

“Governments and political tides change, but the authority of the Monarchy and the Constitution must remain protected,” Amal said.

She added that political differences or interests were not a licence to erode the authority of the royal institution.

Also present were Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, secretary-general Datuk Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki, information chief Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said and vice-president Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani.

The assembly was also attended by delegates from Singapore, Japan and the United Kingdom, as well as representatives of Ameerah Malaysia, PAS’ young women’s wing.

Puteri Umno is also marking its 25th anniversary at this year’s assembly.

在巫统女青年大会的主题演讲中，拿督努鲁·阿玛尔·莫哈末·法兹强调，挑战王室赦免权会破坏联邦宪法，她引用了赋予君主此项权力的第 42 条。

她强调，尊重王室制度和维护宪法，不应卷入党派政治，这一点至关重要。

此次大会是 2026 年巫统大会的一部分，在吉隆坡世界贸易中心举行，巫统的杰出领导人和国际代表出席了大会，以纪念巫统女青年团成立 25 周年。

吉隆坡，9月10日讯——巫统女青年团主席拿督努鲁·阿玛尔·莫哈末·法兹今日表示，挑战或否定国王赦免权直接损害了联邦宪法。

在吉隆坡世界贸易中心举行的与 2026 年巫统大会同期举行的巫统公主大会上，阿玛尔发表主旨演讲，称王室是国家主权的重要支柱。

“尊重王室和维护宪法超越了党派政治。”

“政府和政治潮流会更迭，但君主制的权威和宪法必须得到保护，”阿迈勒说。

她补充说，政治分歧或利益冲突不能成为削弱王室权威的理由。
