"I feel a little sad as well as unhappy since there have been those who had come here, especially Malays, as well as could move themselves to question a Malays' in front of as well as privileges, a aptitude of a establishment of a Malay rulers as well as a purpose in a country's administrative system.
"I want to ask these Malays, do they not have feelings of honour as a Malay which they could guaranty a word "Malay" to be buried as well as let it vanish from a eyes of a world?
"Try celebration of a mass story written by a British where they referred to Tanah Melayu, a Federated Malay States as well as Raja-raja Melayu.
"This showed which a Western writers acknowledged which a Malays proposed a story of this country," he pronounced in his address during a Constitutional Monarchy -- History, Now as well as Future Perspectives Discourse (Raja Berperlembagaan -- Perspektif Sejarah, Kini dan Masa Depan), here.
Sultan Sharafuddin pronounced he believed a design of those who questioned a aptitude of constitutional monarchy as well as a Malays' in front of stemmed only from their personal as well as political interest.
"Their goal is for a constitu-tional monarchy complement to be reviewed as well as complicated since a nation has gone by modernisation as well as a stream complement is no longer suitable as well as extremely unsuitable (with stream needs), ensuing in shrill calls from a Malays themselves asking for a word Melayu (Malay) in a phrase Raja-raja Melayu be abolished.
