PETALING JAYA:
DAP’s Wong Siew Ki has responded to the decree issued by Selangor’s Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, about a day after the ruler called on her, as well as ex-DAP leader Ronnie Liu, to better understand the Rukun Negara and respect the royal institution.

In a Facebook post today, the Seri Kembangan assemblyman said she “humbly upholds” Sultan Sharafuddin’s decree.

“As a representative, the principles of the Rukun Negara always serve as my guide, inspiration and foundation in carrying out the trust placed in me and serving the people.

“I deeply respect and always adhere to these principles in all my actions, prioritising the interests of the people of Selangor and Malaysia,” she said.

Yesterday, the Selangor Royal Office said in a Facebook post that Sultan Sharafuddin paid a visit to Dataran Selangor in Shah Alam to view the Rukun Negara monument placed in front of the Selangor state flagpole.

The sultan called on all of the state’s elected representatives, particularly Wong and Liu, to visit Dataran Selangor twice a month to read and understand the meaning of the principles inscribed on the monument.

Controversy had previously erupted over Wong and Liu’s response to the sultan’s call for a complete end to pig farming in the state.

Wong attracted brickbats with her proposal for a modern, closed-system pig farming industry in Selangor, while Liu urged dissatisfied pig farmers to consider applying for a judicial review.
