All parties who are in conflict today should adhere to basic principles under the Federal Constitution as the best "way out" to preserve harmony between the royal institution and the people.

In making the call, Parti Amanah Negara deputy president Salahuddin Ayub cited the principle that everyone is seen as equal under the law.

"Whether it involves the royal institution represented by the Malay rulers or the common people represented by politicians elected via the parliamentary democracy system, all parties should 'watch their steps' as to not cross into the lines defined by the Federal Constitution.

"Amanah hopes that all parties in conflict today would return to the spirit of what has been enshrined under the Federal Constitution and their oath of office as the best way out to preserve harmonious relationship between the country's royal institution and the people," he said in a statement.

"The discussion table is still wide open for both parties to put an end to their differences," said Salahuddin who did not mention any names.
