Chief Alzafny emphasized that their aim is to maintain peace and order, not to take sides in the ongoing royal crisis. The security measures were put in place to safeguard public peace and ensure that official proceedings can continue smoothly.\n\nThe deployment of police personnel to locations such as the Tuanku Jaafar Royal Gallery, Balai Undang Luak Sungei Ujong, and Wisma Negeri was aimed at preserving public peace, not favoring any particular party involved in the constitutional and legal processes.
