KUANTAN, March 31 — The Sultan of Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah expressed sadness and disappointment over the Molotov cocktail attack at the KK Mart branch in Sungai Isap yesterday.
Comptroller Major General Datuk Mohamed Zahari Yahya said His Royal Highness received the information from the Pahang police, subsequently ordering them to pay serious attention and to take decisive and immediate action regarding the matter.
“His Royal Highness strongly condemned (the act) and described the incident as an illegal act, as well as against the religious belief that always emphasises peace and tolerance.
“Al-Sultan Abdullah also calls on everyone, especially the people of Pahang, not to be easily influenced by racial narratives which can disrupt the harmony enjoyed thus far,” he said in a statement yesterday.
His Royal Highness also ordered all parties to respect the rule of law and reminded everyone to respect the legal process that the government has taken regarding the sale of socks with the word Allah printed on them.
“In that regard, in conjunction with this blessed month of Ramadan, His Royal Highness calls on the people to pray that the state of Pahang and Malaysia will always be blessed,” Zahari said.
