Perlis assembly building renamed as Kompleks Seri Putra
KANGAR: The Perlis state assembly complex here has been renamed as Kompleks Seri Putra, officially announced by the Raja of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Jamalullail. In his speech, His Royal Highness said he was pleased to announce the new name of the complex, which took the name of his father, the late Tuanku Syed Putra. "My late father was the first Raja of Perlis on the throne since the Perlis Constitution was drafted on Feb 1, 1948, coinciding with the birth of the Federation of Malaya. "Until now, the Perlis Constitution, which was completed on March 26, 1959, is still in use as a result of the wisdom and legacy of His late Highness' rule. "Under His late Highness' reign, the Perlis State Assembly was formed and the State Legislative Council Election was held on Sept 24, 1955, with nine seats. It is fitting that His late Highness' services are remembered and honoured," said Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin at a tea ceremony with the people in conjunction with his 82nd birthday celebration at the complex on Monday (May 19). The text of Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin's speech was read by the Raja Muda of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail. Also present at the ceremony were the Raja Perempuan of Perlis Tuanku Tengku Fauziah Almarhum Tengku Abdul Rashid and the Raja Puan Muda of Perlis Tuanku Dr Hajah Lailatul Shahreen Akashah Khalil. Also present was Perlis Mentri Besar Mohd Shukri Ramli. The Raja of Perlis said that the large and beautiful building has become a landmark, which replaced the Big Clock Building to hold the Perlis State Assembly session since June 24, 2008, before His Royal Highness officiated the building as the state assembly complex on May 25, 2010. "Since the First Session of the 12th State Assembly, 50 sessions have been held in this building. The most recent was from April 22 to 24, 2025. "Utilise this building as a place to negotiate, discuss with prudence and wisdom and enact fair legislation for the well-being of the people of this state. This large building must be fully utilised and well-maintained. "Find solutions and common ground to govern and develop this state on par with other states. Use this opportunity given by Allah to provide service to the people of this state," said His Royal Highness. – Bernama

Raja of Perlis rebukes civil servants for putting self above public interest
ARAU: The Raja of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Jamalullail, today voiced his disapproval over the attitude of certain civil servants in the state, who were found to be placing personal interests above public service. In this regard, His Royal Highness urged these civil servants to enhance their work ethic, including better management of office hours, to set a positive example and uphold the integrity of the public service. "There are civil servants who prioritise self-interest over the welfare of the people. I have received reports, and I have personally experienced their work attitudes. "However, change is not impossible, and they must be willing to change themselves before they are forced to change. So, change your work culture. "I urge these civil servants to follow the good example set by their colleagues. I hope those involved understand the message I am conveying," said Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin in his royal address at the state investiture ceremony, held in conjunction with the ruler's 82nd birthday celebration at Istana Arau, today.
