SULTAN BERSIMPATI DGN ELIZABETH WONG - malaysiakini

Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah has refused to get himself involved in the controversy involving Bukit Lanjan assemblywoman Elizabeth Wong, whose nude photographs have been circulated in public. In a press statement issued by the sultan’s private secretary Mohamad Munir Bani, the palace expressed sadness over the controversy which has roiled the state. However, Sultan Sharafuddin said that he could not offer any guidance or advice over the issue because the case is still under police investigation. "It is His Royal Highness' stance as the Sultan of Selangor to be above politics," said Mohamad Munir. The sultan added that he believes the decision to be made by Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim on the matter will be “fair and with wisdom” and will take into consideration the interest of the rakyat and the state. "His Royal Highness is upset and worried as of late the intrusion of someone's privacy and private rights was being used to destroy one's dignity and reputation," said Mohamad Munir. "It is a sad thing as one's life and private rights were being made public and subject to public scrutiny by publicising in the mass media." The sultan expressed sympathy for Wong and hoped that she will "remain calm and be patient in continuing with her life henceforth".(Source: Malaysiakini)

I think the Sultan has made a wise decision...What was Khalid's intention in the first place to ask the Sultan for advice? I wonder...
