Translation of "statesman" into Malay

After describing the way that some Catholic popes instituted widespread persecution, a British statesman wrote: “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

Selepas menggambarkan cara sesetengah paus Katolik memulakan penganiayaan secara meluas, seorang negarawan dari Britain telah menulis, “Kuasa cenderung menyeleweng, dan kuasa mutlak menyeleweng sepenuhnya.”
