Amanah deputy president Dr Mujahid Yusof Rawa expressed full support for the Malay Rulers' statement, highlighting the importance of respecting the Royal Institution and following established procedures. The Malay Rulers themselves warned against outside interference and politicization of the crisis, stating that it could exacerbate tensions and tarnish the institution's dignity. Opposition leader Hamzah Zainudin also backed the Rulers' decree, urging all parties to allow legitimate legal and customary mechanisms to resolve the dispute in accordance with the state constitution.",
