Sultan Muhammad V decides to use his six-month Royal Emoluments for rakyat

KOTA BARU: The Sultan of Kelantan Sultan Muhammad V has decided to forgo his Royal Emoluments for six months from April to September, in an effort to help the people affected by Movement Control Order (MCO).

The Sultan hoped the contribution would be managed accordingly by the State Secretary’s office, said Comptroller of the Kelantan Royal Household Nik Mohd Shafriman Nik Hassan.

Sultan Muhammad V also reminded the people to cooperate in helping the frontliners by adhering to MCO, as it is crucial to flatten the Covid-19 curve by protecting those who are more susceptible to infection, and preventing more loss of lives, he added.

“Sultan Muhammad V also said that although the MCO might be tough for many people, it is a necessary move, ” he said, adding that the Tuanku hoped the people will continue to be patient and to look at the MCO from a positive perspective, where they can spend more quality time with their family, reflect on oneself, and perform ibadah (religious practices).

Nik Mohd Shafriman said Sultan Muhammad V once again expressed his appreciation to all Health Ministry personnel and all parties involved in the critical service sectors and their sacrifices for the well-being of Malaysians. — Bernama
