Their Royal Highnesses extended their condolences to the family of the deceased, expressing their hope that the family remains resilient and patient in facing this incredibly heavy ordeal.
The royal couple also hoped that the family would stay strong and united, leaving the matter to the relevant authorities to conduct a thorough investigation into the incident.
"Their Royal Highnesses emphasised that the sacrifices made by the nation's security forces will always be appreciated and remembered," according to a post on the Pahang Sultanate's official Facebook page Saturday (Feb 21).
The Sultan of Pahang and the Tengku Ampuan also expressed their appreciation for the late soldier's service to the country, praying that his family is granted strength, peace, and that all matters are eased during this difficult time.
