Your Royal Highness,
We admired your judgments during your tenure in the judiciary, we admire your speeches now as the Royal Highness, we admire your view and wisdom with full respect.
On 5 February 2009, Your Highness as the highest authority of the state was required to step in to heal the political crisis which storm the Land of Grace.
The paramount decision of yours, however, has penalised your very own truehearted citizens. Your verdict has wounded your very own citizens deeply, wound in our heart and mind.
Your beloved Perakians and Malaysia as a whole, through your decision, were subjected to unfairness and injustice. This is so true, as it does not reflect the true intention of the voters. Further, it also does not ruminate the true principle of democracy.

Your beloved Perakians and Malaysia as a whole, through your decision, were subjected to unfairness and injustice. This is so true, as it does not reflect the true intention of the voters. Further, it also does not ruminate the true principle of democracy.
In your very own words, once said on your relationship with the state:
“(I do) not like the Government to be damned, the Ruler to be cheered, or the Ruler to be damned, the Government cheered. Both could be cheered if they played their respective roles in a dignified manner, in keeping with the principles enshrined in the constitution.
The sovereign reigns and the Government rules, (you further added)… The functions were different. As a Ruler, you said, “I cannot participate in planning or formulating a programme, I am not a political leader. I am not an administrative officer; I am only a consultant...”
Your Highness, have you consulted the people of Perak? Have you heard the cries of the people of Perak?
“Justice must be rooted in confidence and confidence is destroyed when right-minded people go away thinking the judge is biased” says Lord Denning.
Bearing Lord Denning words in our mind, we humbly advocates that Your Highness decision shall not pander to the whims of any ruling cabal but one that will thrive in accordance with the dictates of the rule of law and engender respect for the right of the people.
We, Concern Youth Movement humbly appealing to Your Highness to reconsider your decision and may your decision be a decision representing the people as a whole.
Thank you.
