King Ibrahim urges enhanced airport security and comprehensive investigations into TH, Felda

According to Sultan Ibrahim, the country's gateways must be fortified with stronger security measures at all airports and entry points to combat drug smuggling and cross-border criminal activities. This call for tighter airport security was made during Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's audience with the King at Istana Bukit Tunku.

The meeting, which extended beyond an hour, also addressed the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report concerning the Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH) and ongoing concerns surrounding the Federal Land Development Authority (Felda). Sultan Ibrahim underscored the necessity for thorough investigations, with no room for leniency towards any party found culpable.

The King emphasized that those truly responsible must face accountability, and such matters should not recur in the future.
