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

Perak Sultan Nazrin Shah has cautioned members of the Dewan Negara Perak and palace dignitaries to refrain from using royal ties to generate personal profit or gain an unfair advantage. He also implored them not to assist parties in improper or dubious ways, nor to pressure anyone. Sultan Nazrin emphasized the importance of avoiding corruption, abusing power, and any conduct that could undermine the throne's reputation and the Royal Court.

He urged them to be vigilant and exercise good judgment, especially when communicating through social media. Matters they are entrusted with must be kept confidential, and unverified information should not be spread. Sultan Nazrin also called for them to steer clear of disputes, power struggles, and factionalism, while maintaining strong connections with the public.

He stressed that any grievances, particularly those of vulnerable groups such as the elderly, disabled, orphans, low-income families, and marginalized communities, must be heard and addressed. Sultan Nazrin reminded them of the monarchy's role within a constitutional framework, urging them to respect the limits of their authority and responsibilities, work professionally with the government and state institutions, and stay away from partisan politics.

He further encouraged them to enhance their knowledge, adapt to societal changes, and utilize technology prudently. Sultan Nazrin urged palace dignitaries to serve as role models for their families, officers, staff, and the wider community, demonstrating that those close to the ruler should also be committed to their responsibilities and respectful of others.
