Remark on TMJ was to protect constitutional monarchy - Nazri

The Tourism and Culture Minister said his remark meant that if the institution of monarchy intervened in political issues in the country, the respectable institution would be criticised by the public, and hence, could create confusion and misunderstanding.

"We don't want the Malay Rulers to be whacked by any quarters, that's why I said the Rulers should keep out of politics because otherwise, they will be whacked. That's what I meant," he told reporters at the Parliament lobby here Monday.
