Specific Comments Leading to Police Reports Against Tengku Zulpuri Shah Raja Puji

Tengku Zulpuri Shah Raja Puji stated that his words were manipulated, leading to several police reports being lodged against him. He clarified that he did not directly mention the "Istana" (palace) in his speech. Instead, his remarks focused on allegations of wrongdoing by "Orang Besar Berempat" (a fourfold dignitary system) concerning institutions in Pahang. He asserted that mentioning these individuals allegedly embezzling people's money should not be construed as an insult to the royal institution.
Allegations Against "Orang Besar Berempat"

Tengku Zulpuri indicated that he specifically referred to the "Orang Besar Berempat" and alleged they had committed wrongs in relation to Pahang's institutions. He articulated this point by saying, "I only mentioned Orang Besar Berempat... I mentioned that the Orang Besar Berempat, for instance, did something wrong." He further expressed personal embarrassment about this, noting his status as a native of Pahang.
Context of Pahang's Dignitary System

He provided context by outlining the established hierarchy of dignitaries in Pahang, which includes the "Orang Besar Berempat," "Orang Besar Berlapan" (eightfold dignitary system), and "Orang Besar Enambelas" (16-fold dignitary system). Tengku Zulpuri, identifying himself as a descendant of the "Orang Besar Berlapan" family, expressed shame when "Orang Besar" of Pahang, alongside former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, were accused of embezzling public funds.
Political Motivation Behind Reports

Tengku Zulpuri suggested that the police reports were strategically filed by the Raub Umno Youth chief, Fadzli Mohamad Kamal, as an attempt to gain political advantage for the Dong state. He viewed this as part of a broader strategy by Umno to leverage religion, race, and the monarchy to attack the Opposition, particularly in the lead-up to the 15th general election campaigning period.
