KLANG – Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah has slammed the actions of certain political leaders who were using abusive and rude language, especially during the election campaign season, and disrespecting the royal institution in ceramah events.
He has also issued a reminder for politicians to maintain their decorum and morals despite their different ideologies and political beliefs.
“We are tired of politics, people are tired. I am also tired of listening. Make Selangor great again as it was in the glory days of Selangor not so long ago.”
The Sultan of Selangor said that as he turns 78 this year, it is his hope and dream that Selangor will rise and develop in every way, including physical and spiritual development, sustainable economic growth, unity among people of different races, and a place where people live in peace, harmony, comfort, and lasting prosperity.
He said this after presenting letters of appointment to the menteri besar and state exco during the ceremony at Balairung Seri, Istana Alam Shah in Klang today. Also present were Tengku Permaisuri of Selangor Tengku Permaisuri Norashikin and the Raja Muda of Selangor, Tengku Amir Shah.
The sultan also called on the new state government to immediately address all the concerns of the people, especially in terms of infrastructure and development.
“I would like to highlight the floods that often hit Selangor and make life difficult for the people. Short, medium, and long-term plans must be implemented immediately.”
Sultan Sharafuddin questioned what would be the use of Selangor taking pride in its achievements of rapid economic progress, having the status of a wealthy state, and recording the highest GDP in Malaysia if the basic needs of the people were not well addressed.
Therefore, Sultan Sharafuddin said immediate action must be taken to prevent further damage to Selangor’s reputation as a major contributor to the Malaysian economy.
He hopes the assemblymen will do an excellent job by going to the ground to see the status of the planned and ongoing development. – August 21, 2023
