Sultan not holding open house to prevent spread of A(H1N1)
KUALA LUMPUR: The Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah will not be holding the Hari Raya Aidilfitri open house this year to prevent the spread of the Influenza A(H1N1) virus.
His private secretary, Datuk Mohamad Munir Bani, said in a statement that the Sultan had instructed him to make the announcement as the A(H1N1) was listed as an infectious disease that must be curtailed, reported Bernama.
The Sultan of Selangor also wished Selamat Hari Raya to Muslims and hoped they will look after their health, besides maintaining the solidarity, prosperity and peace.
In Klang, some 1,000 people from all walks of life broke fast with Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah at the Masjid di-Raja Sultan Suleiman here yesterday.
The guests had gathered at the royal mosque located next to the Istana Alam Shah as early as 5pm.
At the event organised by the Selangor government, the Sultan presented Hari Raya donations to 400 underprivileged people, including orphans and the hardcore poor before the breaking of fast followed by terawih prayers.
One of the receipients, Siti Mastura Nasharudin, 15, from Kampung Jawa, who came with her 11-year-old sister Khairunnisa, said she was thrilled to have met the Sultan.
“He is a very nice man. He is the first royal VIP that I have met,’’ she said.
During his speech, Datuk Orang Kaya Maha Bijaya Orang Besar Daerah Klang Datuk Setia Diraja Abdul Ghani Pateh Akhir, said the holy month called for tolerance and the spirit of forgiveness.
“Let us forgive each other and carry out our duties diligently. Do not let our emotion overcome us.
“I always pray to see again that kind of family harmony and peace that existed way back in the 50s and 60s,” he added.
Selangor investment arms, the Kumpulan Darul Ehsan Bhd (KDEB) and Selangor Economic Development Corporation (PKNS), presented RM562,000 and RM4.18mil zakat to the Sultan.
