PETALING JAYA: Selangor Ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah has advised the people not to discuss sensitive issues involving the Malay Rulers on social media.
His Royal Highness also said that exemplary conduct by members of royal families is essential to gain the respect and affection of the people.
As such, Sultan Sharafuddin said in a statement issued Friday (Oct 4) by the Selangor Royal Office, they must always exhibit good behaviour in public and on social media.
The statement further noted that Sultan Sharafuddin stressed the importance of unity and cooperation among the nine Malay Rulers, highlighting the need for them to support one another in addressing challenges faced by the people.
"This is important because the role of the Malay Rulers now extends beyond religious matters and includes current issues," said the statement, issued following a meeting between Sultan Sharafuddin and Johor Regent Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim at the Selangor palace on Tuesday (Oct 1).
The meeting, which lasted for more than an hour, discussed various issues involving the Royal institution and preventing conflicts in areas such as football that could lead to hostility.
The Sultan reiterated that football, a sport that has long unified the community, should continue to be used to promote national harmony.
