PETALING JAYA: Leaders from all races have lauded the call by Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah asking Malaysians to defend their constitutional rights, multiculturalist values, moderation and unity.

The Ruler’s advice “reaffirms a historical fact and truth”, said Tawfik Ismail, the son of the country’s second deputy prime minister.
