More autonomy for states

I WOULD like to support the call made by the Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negri Sembilan, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, at a recent function in Kuala Lumpur regarding the decentralisation of Federal powers.

In his speech, HRH stated that transferring more power to the states and giving them more autonomy to run their own administrations will complement the various measures that the Pakatan Harapan Federal Government is introducing to make Malaysia a better and stronger democracy. (Tuanku Muhriz was speaking at the launch of a book honouring former Court of Appeal judge Datuk Seri Hishamudin Yunus for his integrity in upholding the independence of the judiciary.)
