Long live the Sultan, Raja Nazrin!

…..

FOR THOSE WHO DON’T UNDERSTAND THE TITLE “The Sultan of Perak is dead. Long live the Sultan!” here is what is means:

“The Sultan is dead. Long live the NEXT Sultan!”

Read the following exchange on my blog

Zambry said the Perak flag would be flown at half mast during the 100 days of mourning beginning today while the Malaysian flag would be flown at half mast for seven days.

“During the first seven days of the mourning period, all forms of entertainment, festivity and celebration are cancelled,” he announced. – Bernama

CHOOSING THE NEW SULTAN

Adib Vincent Tung Abdullah, author of “Adat Pusaka, Raja Raja dan Orang Besar-Besar Negeri Perak Darul Ridzuan”: under Article 6 of the State Constitution, the first choice of being appointed sultan was between the Raja Muda and Raja di Hilir.

The current Raja Muda is Raja Nazrin Shah while the Raja Di Hilir is Raja Jaafar Raja Muza.

A special sitting of the Dewan Negara Perak will be convened to appoint the successor of Sultan Azlan Shah and the state’s 35th Sultan.

Well respected: A combo picture of the late Sultan Azlan Shah during his days as the Lord President.

IN his lifetime, Sultan Azlan Muhi­bbuddin Shah was Malaysia’s ninth Yang di-Pertuan Agong, the Sultan of Perak for three decades and the head of the country’s judiciary.

In all these positions, he left an indelible mark. But for many, he will be best remembered as the Chief Justice of the High Court of Malaya and later, the Lord President (now known as the Chief Justice).

“His Royal Highness was a great judicial luminary in his time and the annals of our judicial history will bear testimony to this,” said Chris­topher Leong, president of the Malaysian Bar.

“He was well respected not only in Malaysia but also in the Common­wealth.”

Sultan Azlan Shah’s judgments were already legendary.

Ruler with soft spot for subjects

IPOH: SULTAN Azlan  Shah showed a deep concern for his subjects, was intelligent and was full of wisdom.

He never failed to accept handshakes or exchange salam (greetings) with his subjects.

Sultan Azlan, the 34th ruler of Perak, had a soft spot for his subjects, especially children and the elderly.

His concern and care for his subjects were seen in his attendance of charity and welfare-related functions.

During such functions, he would offer suggestions and advice.

He was a compassionate ruler, par excellence.

Perak Sultan and former judge Azlan Shah DIES: Legacy diminished, Perak crisis remembered

Written by Malaysia Chronicle

Despite reaching the pinnacle of the legal profession, his illustrious career was marred by the 2009 Perak crisis. Critics accused the former chief judge of forsaking his own legal precedents and principles for the sake of entrenching his family’s hold on power and wealth.

Many who admired him were deeply disappointed at the change in the man, whom the nation had once looked to as a beacon of justice and good faith.

Some say the Perak crisis took its own heavy toll on the Perak monarch.

They say Azlan must surely know his past achievements would be greatly reduced and his legacy perhaps forever marred by supporting the coup d’etat sprung by Prime Minister Najib Razak against the Pakatan Rakyat state government headed by former chief minister Nizar Jamaluddin on Feb 4, 2009.
