Assault cases bruising royalty's reputation, Zaid warns authorities

The perceived inaction with regard to two assault cases is tarnishing the reputation of the royalty, cautioned Zaid Ibrahim.

Citing the incident in Kuantan involving a road construction worker, who was stabbed and shot at, as well as in Kuala Lumpur where a hearing-impaired man was punched in the face, the former law minister noted that Pahang Crown Prince Tengku Hassanal Ibrahim Alam Shah and Johor Regent Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim had called for action to be taken against the perpetrators.
