Istana Alam Shah, in a posting on the Selangor Royal Office’s Facebook page today, said the Ruler expects Malaysians to be calm but watchful as the country implements measures to keep everyone 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, cleaners and many others,” said the statement.

In the statement, Sultan Sharafuddin, as well as Tengku Permaisuri of Selangor Tengku Permaisuri Norashikin also extended their CNY greeting to all those celebrating and wished for a better life for the people and greater prosperity for the country.

“Their Majesties wish the people and their families good health, safety, success and happiness in this Chinese New Year. May wealth and prosperity come your way,” it added.
