SHAH ALAM – Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah today expressed his concern over the condition of the country’s security assets, especially old vessels belonging to the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) that need to be replaced.

This was expressed by the sultan during a meeting with RMN Commander Admiral Tan Sri Mohd Reza Mohd Sany last Thursday.

In a post on the Selangor Royal Office Facebook page, Sultan Sharafuddin as RMN captain-in-chief said the aged assets needed to be replaced to ensure that the sovereignty of the country’s waters is always preserved and the navy is always in a state of readiness.

Last Thursday, the sultan granted Reza an audience in conjunction with his retirement at Istana Bukit Kayangan, Shah Alam.

Reza was appointed RMN commander on November 30, 2018, and will be handing over the duties to his successor this January 23 to RMN Deputy Commander Vice Admiral Datuk Abdul Rahman Ayob. – Bernama, January 10, 2023
