Speaking during the Pahang Bermunajat Raja Berdaulat gathering at the State Mosque on THursday the Sultan urged citizens to rise above divergent opinions and minor disputes that could potentially divide communities.
"Do not let differences in opinion or small matters lead to division among us. Instead, let us embrace respect for one another and find common ground that promotes the well-being of all," he said.
He emphasised the significance of maintaining a positive outlook in all situations, saying: "I encourage everyone to approach life with a positive attitude. We must not rush to judge others or circumstances with negativity."
