KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 24 — Although society has evolved, the fundamental role of a constitutional monarch remains unchanged, the Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, said.

His Royal Highness said the Ruler had a responsibility to uphold the Constitution, preserve continuity and serve as a symbol of unity above political differences.

“The monarchy provides stability during times of change and reminds us that enduring institutions continue to play an important role in safeguarding national harmony,” he said in a special interview in conjunction with his 25 years on the Selangor throne.

Sultan Sharafuddin said the Constitution provided clear guidance on his responsibilities.
