No power struggles, says Selangor Sultan as current and former menteris besar meet

Shah Alam, October 2 — The Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, met and dined with former Selangor menteris besar Mohamad Khir Toyo, Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali, and the current Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari, following a prayer for safety and Yasin recitation in connection with the celebration of His Royal Highness' 25-year reign.

The meeting underscores the Sultan's ongoing interest in the state's direction and the welfare of its people, showing the strong bond between the royal institution and the state's administrative leadership, including those who previously held significant responsibilities. In a post on the Selangor Royal Office Facebook page, Sultan Sharafuddin urged political leaders to refrain from power struggles, squabbles, or attempts to wrest power, as they could lead to division within the administration.

He called for all efforts to be directed towards the state's development, the well-being of the people, and support for those in need. His Royal Highness also emphasized that differing political stances and ideologies should not hinder cooperation for the state's betterment. "Leadership responsibilities must be fulfilled with unwavering trustworthiness, putting the people's interests before personal or political group interests," the post emphasized.

Sultan Sharafuddin further stressed the importance of societal harmony and administrative stability in Selangor's progress, urging leaders to maintain mutual respect and engage in constructive discussions to resolve any differences.
