The Selangor Royal Council has denied that Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah interfered in the state government's affairs, asserting that his "decrees" are merely advisories, not commands. In a statement, the council clarified that such interventions are a constitutional check and balance to ensure government actions align with the law and public interest, not political interference. It explained the sultan must be consulted on administrative matters to offer advice before decisions are finalised, emphasizing his role is not to be a "rubber stamp." The council highlighted Sultan Sharafuddin's 25 years of experience and his focus on resolving public complaints about issues like floods and infrastructure through effective action rather than empty promises.
