The Conference of Rulers are unlikely to intervene in the administration despite receiving the Citizens' Declaration calling for the ouster of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak ouster, said Federal Territories Minister Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor.

PAS' Pokok Sena MP Mahfuz Omar yesterday urged the rulers to at least acknowledge the declaration and that there is loss of faith in Najib as PM.

"The Yang di-Pertuan Agong has already stated he will not intervene, even after former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad had an audience with him in Alor Setar.

"I believe the Conference of Rulers will similarly not intervene. The Conference of Rulers know the law they have to abide by. Don't forget that we are a constitutional monarchy, we follow the constitution," he said.

He said Mahfuz is "power crazy" to even suggest that the Conference of Rulers pressure Najib to step down.

"The government today was elected by the people. Where did Mahfuz study? He may be power crazy. If he wants (power), he needs to wait until the next general election.

"That too, I am not sure he can win so he is now trying all means to gain power," he told reporters in Putrajaya today.

The Conference of Rulers pre-council meeting was held today, to be followed by the 242nd conference from tomorrow until Oct 14.

The conference will also be held to select the next Agong, as Sultan Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah's five-year term is coming to an end.

According to succession order, the next in line is the Kelantan sultan but he can abdicate or be passed over if the conference deems him unfit, through a secret ballot.

The next in line after that is the sultan of Pahang, Najib's home state.
