Law reigns supreme over the ‘prince and pauper’

The Kuala Lumpur Courts Complex houses various courts of Malaysia’s judiciary system.

Our founding fathers had the foresight to draft principles that are not only necessary for a progressive nation, but also critical for the unity of a pluralistic society – the Rukun Negara.

One of the principles of the Rukun Negara is Kedaulatan Undang-undang (sovereignty or rule of law). What this briefly means is that the law reigns supreme and no one is above it.
