YANG di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah and Raja Permaisuri Agong Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah have expressed hope that Muslims in the country will continue to be resilient, patient and grateful to be given good health and strength to celebrate Hari Raya Aidiladha moderately with their families.

In a statement issued via Istana Negara’s official Facebook page today, the king and queen extended Aidiladha greetings to all Muslims in Malaysia and abroad.

“The king and queen also express their sadness that for the second time Muslims in the country are unable to celebrate Aidiladha as usual due to the Covid-19 pandemic,” it said.

“Their majesties also extend their deepest appreciation to all front-liners for their continuous hard work, commitment and sacrifices in treating Covid-19 patients and for their efforts in combating the pandemic since last year.”

Therefore, Al-Sultan Abdullah and Tunku Azizah urged all Muslims in the country not to be complacent and exercise self-discipline in adhering to all directives and standard operating procedures stipulated by the government to celebrate Aidiladha.

They also called on the people to pray for the country to always be under the protection of Allah, to be spared from calamities and for the pandemic to be curbed and put to an end soon. – Bernama, July 19, 2021.
