A prominent former law minister who has joined PAS has urged the Islamic party to voice concerns about procedural compliance in the matter involving Tuanku Muhriz, the Yang Dipertuan Besar of Perak.
Zaid Ibrahim stressed the importance of adhering to constitutional protocols set out in the state constitution, cautioning that any deviation from these established procedures could have significant implications for the leadership position.
He warned that if the constitutional processes prescribed by state law are not properly followed, Tuanku Muhriz would continue to hold the office of Yang Dipertuan Besar. The statement underscores concerns about the proper observance of constitutional procedures in handling matters affecting the state's traditional leadership.
Zaid's intervention reflects broader concerns about ensuring institutional processes are respected, particularly in matters involving the constitutional roles and positions within Malaysia's federal system. His call for PAS to take a public stance suggests the party's position on the issue remains unclear to some observers.
