Promise 11: Restore the dignity of the Malays and Malay

institutions

UMNO and Barisan Nasional have been ignoring the advice and the

wisdom of the Duli-Duli Yang Maha Mulia Raja-Raja Melayu. They just
listen to views that bring them political benefits, and ignore the rest.

The Council of Rulers had commanded that the 1MDB case should resolved
quickly. But UMNO and Barisan Nasional simply ignore the commandment.

The Council of Rulers had commanded that the country’s check and balance

mechanism must be improved. But UMNO and Barisan Nasional continue to
manipulate the Royal Malaysian Police, Malaysian Anti-Corruption

Commission, Bank Negara, Attorney General's Chambers and the judiciary,

for their political interests. Duli-Duli Tuanku repeatedly reminded the
nation that inter-ethnic harmony must be protected. But UMNO and

Barisan Nasional allows racial politics to be exploited, including by their

leaders.

The Pakatan Harapan Government will always put the views and wisdom of

the Duli-Duli Yang Maha Mulia Raja-Raja Melayu in the highest regard,
commensurate with the position of the Constitutional Monarchy in our

country.

The powers of the Malay Rulers to govern religion and the Malay customs

will be returned to the states and interference of the Federal Government
will be stopped.

To ensure that Malaysia remains as a harmonious country that retains the
special position of the Malays, the Pakatan Harapan Government will

establish, on a permanent basis, Majlis Perundingan Keharmonian
Rakyat, similar to what was once set up by Almarhum Tun Abdul Razak.

This will allow the fostering of a better racial and religious relations within

the framework of the Federal Constitution.
