Agong, Raja Permaisuri berangkat ke sambutan Hari Kebangsaan

Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim and the Raja Permaisuri Agong, Raja Zarith Sofiah, departed for the 69th Malaysia National Day celebrations at Putrajaya today. This marks the third time the royal couple has witnessed this grand event, following Sultan Ibrahim's oath-taking ceremony and his appointment as the 17th Yang di-Pertuan Agong on January 31 and July 20, 2024, respectively.

The royal duo arrived at 8 in the morning, greeted by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, his wife Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, and Communication Minister Fahmi Fadzil, who chairs the National Day and Malaysia Day 2026 organizing committee. The ceremony was further enhanced by a display of 5 helicopters carrying the national flag and military banners from the Land, Navy, Royal Malaysian Army, and Royal Malaysian Air Force, which escorted the royal couple in their procession to the royal throne.

Sultan Ibrahim also had the pleasure of inspecting a three-armed contingent from the 41st Royal Artillery Regiment of the King's Own Yeomanry, comprising three officers and 57 personnel of various ranks from Sungai Buloh. The theme of the event, "Malaysia Madani: Prosperity Enjoyed," attracted over 80,000 visitors, alongside participation of 10,819 parade contingent members involving 76 units and 22 marching bands.
