  "account": "The Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, has cautioned political leaders to cease their disputes and power struggles, warning that such disagreements could result in divisions. The monarch made these remarks after a meeting with former Selangor Chief Minister Khir Toyo, Azmin Ali, and current Chief Minister Amirudin Shari, following Friday prayers.\n\nAccording to Sultan Sharafuddin, political leaders should instead concentrate on the state's development, the welfare of the people, and those in need. Speaking via a social media post from the Selangor royal office, the ruler emphasized that differing political perspectives and ideologies should not hinder cooperation for the benefit of Selangor and its inhabitants.\n\nSultan Sharafuddin also stressed that leaders must uphold their duties with integrity by prioritizing the people's interests above their own or their political parties. He reminded political leaders that Selangor's advancement must coincide with harmony and administrative stability. Lastly, the Sultan advised political leaders to engage in dialogue when addressing differences.",
