KUANTAN: The Sultan of Pahang, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, graced the launch of the Pahang Recreation Council (MRP) at Dataran Orang Kaya Haji in Kuala Lipis on Sunday (Oct 12).
In a post on the Pahang Royal Family's Facebook page, Al-Sultan Abdullah stated that the establishment of MRP not only promotes, develops, and preserves the state's natural treasures but also acts as the eyes and ears of the authorities to ensure their protection for future generations.
"I have long followed the activities of these recreation enthusiasts who have been very active for more than 10 years. It is now time for their knowledge and experience to be shared while enhancing the facilities and tourism products for recreational sports in Pahang," he said.
According to the post, Al-Sultan Abdullah was received upon arrival by Pahang Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail and state communications and multimedia, youth, sports and non-governmental organisations committee chairman Fadzli Mohamad Kamal.
His Royal Highness also expressed hope that the formation of MRP would help nurture greater awareness among Pahang's youth on the importance of protecting the environment.
"Wider awareness about the importance of our natural heritage is crucial, as it represents a legacy and a trust - my trust, the government's trust - to be handed down to our young people, especially my own children," he said. – Bernama
