According to a post on His Majesty's official Facebook page, Sultan Ibrahim signed 200 Raya greeting cards on Tuesday (March 25).

"His Majesty enjoys sending Raya greeting cards traditionally as it strengthens the bond between the palace and the people, regardless of religion and ethnicity.

"(Physical) greeting cards are not only unique and special but also very classic," according to the post.

The Facebook page also posted photos of the King breaking fast with police personnel at the police training centre here on Tuesday.

Also present was Her Majesty Raja Zarith Sofiah, Queen of Malaysia.

Their Majesties were greeted upon their arrival by Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain and Attorney-General Datuk Ahmad Terrirudin Mohd Salleh.
