KUANTAN: Sultan of Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah decreed that traders and local authorities in the state must act responsibly in carrying out their respective roles.
Al-Sultan Abdullah also urged traders in Pahang to have licences and comply with the laws, whereas enforcers should act prudently in all their actions, exercising discretion without causing any damage or injury.
"In the excitement of welcoming Aidilfitri, traders certainly take the opportunity to multiply their sources of income by offering goods that attract buyers' attention,” the Pahang Sultan posted on his Facebook page.
"Any transaction conducted must adhere to the standard operating procedures that have been provided, including traders must apply for a business licence or permit.
"The local authorities must also provide specific and safe places for all parties,” Al-Sultan Abdullah said.
The Sultan also decreed that if any issue or problem arose, it should be resolved properly without commotion, let alone injuries.
Meanwhile, Pahang prince Tengku Arif Bendahara Tengku Muhammad Iskandar Ri’ayatuddin Shah Al-Sultan Abdullah had the opportunity to visit balloon vendor Muhammad Zaimuddin Azlan, who was involved in an altercation with Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) enforcement officers on Friday (March 28).
