SHAH ALAM – Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah has reminded the people to heed the Health Ministry’s (MoH) advice in celebrating Chinese New Year (CNY) under the movement control order (MCO).
Istana Alam Shah, in a post on the Selangor Royal Office Facebook page today, said the ruler expects Malaysians to be calm but watchful as the country implements measures to keep everybody safe and healthy.
“His Royal Highness reminds the people to stay away from crowds and confined spaces, as well as to maintain safe distancing when in conversation with guests.
“Sultan Sharafuddin also wants all of us to remember those making personal sacrifices to keep our nation safe during the Covid-19 pandemic, especially the frontliners including law enforcement personnel, hospital staff members, cleaners and many others.”
In the statement, Sultan Sharafuddin and Tengku Permaisuri of Selangor Tengku Permaisuri Norashikin also extended their CNY greetings to all those celebrating, and wished for a better life for the people and greater prosperity for the country.
“CNY is a time when families bond together and strengthen their ties. A wonderful tradition passed from generation to generation helping to remind our young of the importance of family.
“In that spirit, Their Royal Highnesses wish the people and their families health, safety, success, and happiness in this CNY. May wealth and prosperity come your way.” – Bernama, February 11, 2011
