Don't Do Anything That Can Cause Mistrust Among Communities, Selangor Sultan Advises People

KLANG, Dec 11 (Bernama) -- The Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah today reminded the state's multiracial and multireligious society not to do anything that could cause mistrust among them.

The Sultan said each individual in the state should respect the freedom of others to practise their own religion and not touch on sensitive issues, which could arouse anger and create undesirable situations.

"I wish for the development in Selangor to continue into the times of our future generations.

"Therefore, all communities in Selangor must play their role in maintaining development in the state by not creating disharmony and mistrust of each other," the Sultan said at a tea reception with the rakyat at Padang Mahkota, Istana Alam Shah, here, Wednesday, in conjunction with his 68th birthday celebration.

In this regard, he also reminded the country's intellectuals to understand sensitive issues and not make statements that could hurt people's feelings to the extent of causing disharmony. The Sultan also urged the people to explore and venture into new things that could make Selangor even more developed and outstanding in Malaysia.

"Let's not allow Selangor's development to be stagnant. But Selangor cannot develop further if its multiracial people are not united and cooperative as one team," he said.

The Sultan also wants the people to assist and cooperate with the police in combating crime in the state.
