I WISH to express my legal opinion on the power of a Sultan to appoint a mentri besar (MB).

Since 1957, our country has been an elected, representative demo­cracy and a constitutional state. Everybody, including the Rulers, Executive, Legislature and the Judiciary, is under the Constitution. Nobody has absolute powers because the age of absolute feudal powers is gone.
