    1. Introduction:  DYMM Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah was installed as the 35th Sultan of Perak         on Wednesday May 6, 2015  at Iskandariah Palace in Kuala Kangsar, in a ceremony that was               steeped in tradition of the Perak Malay sultanate.  DYMM Sultan Nazrin is close to my heart as I         have been following a few of his public lectures and very impressed with his intellectual                     discourses, and his involvement with many activities for the betterment of the rakyat, which win         their hearts. He has been reported to have reminded, from time to time, the State administration           to implement projects that will benefit the people. Among the issues he has highlighted include:
        education, poverty eradication, availability of regular supply of clean water, sustainable                       development and greening the State, provision of affordable homes. He has written articles                 and delivered keynote addresses covering a wide range of topics on Islam, Nation Building,                 Finance, Constitution Monarchy.

     2. Background :  DYMM Sultan Nazrin was born on November 1956 and had his primary and               secondary education at St. John's Institution in Kuala Lumpur, completing his secondary                     education at the Leys School in Cambridge. HRH pursued his tertiary education at University of         Oxford where he obtained his degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics and at Harvard                 University, USA where he was conferred a Ph. D in Political Economy and Government. HRH           has also been elected to serve on a number of honorary organisations, among them are:                         Honorary Fellow of Worcester College, University of Oxford; Hon. Fellow of Magdalene                   College of University of Cambridge; member Board of Trustees of the Oxford Centre for                     Islamic Studies; Royal Fellow of the Institute of Defense and Security; Royal Fellow of the                 Institute of Strategic and International Studies; Royal Fellow of the Institute of Public Security           of Malaysia; Royal Patron of the Malaysian International Islamic Financial Centre; 4th                         Chancellor of University of Malaya; Colonel-in-Chief of the of the Regiment of Royal                         Engineers and the Royal Medical Corps of the Malaysian Armed Forces. On the international             front, HRH has been appointed by the United Nations to co-chair the UN High-Level Panel on           Humanitarian Financing. HRH married Raja Permaisuri Perak Tuanku Zara Salim in May 2007           and the royal couple is blessed with two children: Raja Azlan Muzzaffar Shah, who was born on         March 14, 2008 and Raja Nazira Safya Shah, on August 2, 2011.

    3. Highlights of HRH Installation Address.  In the opening remark, HRH solicited the protection             and guidance of Allah in ruling the State and indicated that it is the duty of the Ruler to protect           the sovereignty of the State and that the emergence of an enlightened era in an administration is           when when leaders hold respect for religious leaders and scholars who have the courage to voice         out their rights and firmly opposed untruths. Guided by such leaders, a Ruler is protected from             going astray.  HRH Sultan Nazrin emphasised that the royal institution is not a ceremonial                   ornament but the Federal Constitution provides for Constitutional Monarchy in the country,                 detailing the roles and responsibilities of the Rulers. Accordingly, the Ruler must be vibrant,               dynamic and confident in fulfilling his role as the unifying figure in a political landscape , which          increasingly is showing signs of cracks in the racial and religious harmony. He went on to                    highlight that the powers of the Ruler is governed by the law and thus he has to abide by                      Islamic guidelines which provide for checks and balances, to ensure justice, the importance of            Day of Judgement. He concluded his address with the prayer that Allah will protect the State              and the people. Amin..amin
