Sultan: Institutions must stay independent

PUTRAJAYA: Education, administration, judiciary, regulatory and enforcement agencies and institutions have been reminded to be independent and strong.

Sultan of Perak Sultan Nazrin Shah said leaders and administrators placed by the public in positions of trust should act as reliable trustees and perform their duty with integrity.
