KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim expressed confidence that the people had benefited from Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah’s justice and prudence in ensuring that everyone enjoyed peace throughout His Majesty’s reign.
The Prime Minister said the concern shown by Al-Sultan Abdullah and Raja Permaisuri Agong Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah for the people’s welfare went beyond the confines of the established boundaries between a monarch and his subjects.
“Beginning with prolonged political instability, the spread and impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, and shifting economic downturns, the country has been in uncertainty and crisis.
“However, His Majesty has fulfilled the responsibilities of leadership perfectly, embodying qualities with a people-centric approach which consistently aligns with the rakyat to ensure that peace and well-being remain priorities in any circumstances,” Anwar said.
Anwar said this in his address at the State Banquet held in a hotel here on Saturday (Jan 27) in conjunction with the completion of the reign of the 16th Yang di-Pertuan Agong. – Bernama
