KUALA LUMPUR: Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah and Raja Permaisuri Agong Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah have extended their 2023 New Year greetings.
They also offered their prayers for the wellbeing of the people as well as peace and harmony in the country.
The greetings of the King and Queen were uploaded on Istana Negara’s official Facebook page.
“May the people throughout the country be blessed with good health, wealth, prosperity and be protected from any type of disaster,” the King and Queen said in their message.
This year’s New Year’s Eve celebrations, initially planned at Dataran Merdeka here tonight, were called off by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim due to floods in several states and in consideration of issues faced by the people.
The New Year’s Eve celebrations will be replaced by a prayer programme with the Prime Minister at the Putra Mosque in Putrajaya starting 6.30pm today.
