KUALA LUMPUR – Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah has decreed for the state flag to be flown at half-mast from Saturday to the following Monday to honour the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

State secretary Datuk Haris Kasim said in a statement that this move also honours the good relationship between Sultan Sharafuddin and the Queen.

Haris added that in line with the sultan’s decree, the state exco has ordered state departments and agencies to fly the Selangor flag at half-mast.

Queen Elizabeth II died on September 8 at the age of 96 and her funeral is planned for September 19.
