Sinnadurai, Visu, Dato’ Seri, 1944– 321.87026595 Typeset by Compass Creative Sdn Bhd, Malaysia Printed by Print & Co Sdn Bhd, Malaysia Editor’s Preface and Acknowledgements his volume contains a selection of the leading public lectures and speeches primarily in the area of law that were delivered by His TRoyal Highness Sultan Azlan Shah. It also includes two essays written by His Royal Highness—one on The Role of Constitutional Rulers, and the other, which appears as the Postscript to this book entitled The Role of Constitutional Rulers and The Judiciary: Revisited, written specifically for this book. The lectures, speeches and essays have been edited so as to follow a book structure. Whilst the lectures and essays have generally been reproduced in their original form, the many speeches delivered by His Royal Highness have been amalgamated and edited into certain thematic topics, and appear as specific chapters. All lectures, speeches and essays, have also been edited so as to conform to standard house-style. In some chapters, editor’s notes, which act v vi Constitutional Monarchy, Rule of Law and Good Governance as an update to some of the materials contained in the chapters, have been added. Where the updates are themselves covered by His Royal Highness in the Postscript, cross-references are made to the Postscript in the relevant part of the chapter. The book contains two other features: The first consists of certain significant quotes of His Royal Highness Sultan Azlan Shah. These quotes, mainly on certain important aspects of the law, are drawn either from the various chapters contained in the book, or from important judgments delivered by His Royal Highness during his tenure on the Bench. Secondly, chapters in the book have been interspersed with certain aspects of His Royal Highness’s biography, classified under certain key subject headings, including his judicial career, contribution to higher education, development of the law, and a list of the national and international recognition accorded to His Royal Highness. The editing and compilation of this book was undertaken at the same time as the book that now appears as The Sultan Azlan Shah Law Lectures: Judges on the Common Law, Professional Law Books and Sweet & Maxwell, 2004. The publication of both these books would not have been possible without the assistance of many. His Royal Highness Sultan Azlan Shah took a personal interest in the publication of this book and gave many constructive comments. His Royal Highness Raja Nazrin Shah gave me the same support and encouragement as he did with the first book. To both Their Royal Highnesses, I am most grateful for their gracious involvement in the publication of the book. Their personal interest was a great inspiration to me. editor’s preface and acknowledgements vii Joel Ng of Genesis Publishing Services again acted as my co- editor to this book. For his tremendous work and patience, I owe him a great debt of gratitude. I must thank Faisal Ariff Rozali-Wathooth and Kyle Sanderson, undergraduates from Cambridge University and University of London respectively, who were both in Kuala Lumpur during their summer vacation to assist me in editing the book. With high spirits and enthusiasm, both of them undertook their daunting tasks and responsibilities. Devaraj Letchumanan and Kevin Ooi of Sweet & Maxwell rendered a great deal of assistance, particularly, in providing invaluable comments on the layout and design of the book. Kevin, with his vast experience, also undertook the final proofreading of the manuscripts. I also thank Emily Yung for her artistic and professional manner in doing the artwork for some of the pictures that appear in this book. Andrew Wong of Compass Creative again did the design and artwork for this book. With the many and constant changes that were made to the design, his patience and skill are much appreciated. I also record my appreciation to Puddingburn Publishing Services of Australia for preparing the Index; and Sally Kee for preparing the Table of Cases and Table of Legislation.

  • Ucaptama Santapan Malam Diraja
    Ucaptama Santapan Malam Diraja Beta ingin mengalu-alukan kedatangan Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah dan Permaisuri Agong Tuanku Haminah ke negara Jepun sebagai Tetamu Negara. Beta amat berbesar hati dapat menjemput dan meluangkan masa bersama Baginda Berdua pada petang ini. Pertemuan kali pertama Beta dengan Tuanku ialah 42 tahun yang lepas ketika Beta membuat lawatan ke Malaysia sebagai Putera Mahkota bersama dengan Puteri Mahkota, mewakili Maharaja Hirohito. Lawatan tersebut adalah susulan dari lawatan yang telah dibuat oleh Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong ketiga, Tuanku Syed Putra dan Seri Paduka Baginda Raja Permaisuri Agong dari Perlis sebagai Tetamu Negara pada tahun 1964. Pada waktu itu Yang di-Pertuan Agong sedang gering, Tuanku, ketika itu merupakan Timbalan Yang di-Pertuan Agong, menerima kehadiran Beta Berdua di Kuala Lumpur. Lawatan itu termasuk ke Pulau Pinang, Perlis, Selangor, Johor telah membantu Beta Berdua untuk lebih memahami Malaysia, dan tidak dapat dilupakan kebaikan hati rakyatnya di mana jua Beta Berdua lawati. Lawatan kedua ke Malaysia ialah pada tahun 1991 sebagai Tetamu Negara selepas Beta menaiki takhta, dan sekali lagi Beta Berdua berpeluang untuk bertemu dengan Tuanku. Ketika lawatan itu, Beta Berdua dijadualkan untuk melawat negeri Perak, kampung halaman Yang di-Pertuan Agong ke-sembilan, Tuanku Azlan Muhibuddin Shah, namun Beta Berdua tidak berkesempatan melawat negeri itu akibat kesan kebakaran hutan di negara jiran. Setelah hampir 15 tahun ketika Beta Berdua menghadiri sambutan ulangtahun ke-60 Raja Thailand, Beta Berdua berkesempatan mengunjungi Perak. Beta Berdua bertemu dengan bekas Yang di-Pertuan Agong dan keluarga Baginda, dan juga ke Malay College di mana Beta Berdua sepatutnya berkunjung 15 tahun yang lepas.

  • RULER WHO SET ASIDE PROTOCOL and FORMALITY (Bernama 21/11/2001)
    21 NOV 2001 Agong-Obituary RULER WHO SET ASIDE PROTOCOL AND FORMALITY KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 21 (Bernama) -- The Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, who died today at the age of 75, will be best remembered as a Ruler who set aside protocol and formality to reach out to the people. Sultan Salahuddin, who was Ruler of Selangor for 41 years, was also media friendly. Media representatives covering official functions were often extremely delighted to find him responding to various questions on personal or current issues especially pertaining to Selangor. His informality endeared him to the people who love him for his warmth and caring manner. Sultan Salahuddin died at 11.57am at the Gleneagles Intan Medical Centre in Jalan Ampang here of heart failure. He was installed as the 11th Yang di-Pertuan Agong on Sept 23, 1999 for a five-year term on expiry of the term of the Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan Tuanku Jaafar ibni Almarhum Tuanku Abdul Rahman. "I am created not to be arrogant to the people," he said in an interview by Utusan Malaysia six years ago. His Majesty always showed concern for people especially in the rural and interior areas. In his younger days, Sultan Salahuddin often cycled throughout the state including Pulau Ketam and Pulau Indah to find out the problems faced by the people. When age caught up with him and he could no longer do so, His Majesty remained concerned for the welfare of the people. On several occasions, he had set aside protocol and formality by directly raising the problems faced by the people with the state's administration.
