[KiniNews] A constitutional ban on the Yang di-Pertuan Agong from being involved in business also applies to sultans, argued a PKR lawmaker.

Pasir Gudang MP Hassan Karim said this is because the Federal Constitution also has a provision whereby federal laws override state laws that are in conflict with it.

Article 34(3) of the Federal Constitution states that “the Yang di-Pertuan Agong shall not actively engage in any commercial enterprise”.

Meanwhile, Article 75 of the Constitution states that when a state law is inconsistent with federal law, the federal law shall prevail and the state law shall, to the extent of its inconsistency, be void.
