PARLIAMENT Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah has urged lawmakers to cease politicking and expressed his wish for the continuation of the current administration in order to realise the goal of making Malaysia a high-income nation.

In his opening address at this year's Parliament session, he said differing views should be appreciated, instead of slandering and attempting to topple each other.

"Once again, I call upon all the honourable members (parliamentarian) to be united and to love this country. Give your undivided loyalty, defend and protect the country.
