Ruler of the people
THE Sultan of Pahang Sultan Ahmad Shah has always been known as the people’s Sultan and is well-respected among his subjects.
Pahang Fire and Rescue Department officer Anuar Hassan said the Ruler had always been there for the people during rain or shine.
“During hard times such as a flood, Sultan Ahmad Shah would visit the affected areas and victims.
“He does not only act like a Ruler, but also like a ‘wakil rakyat’. As a Fire and Rescue Department staff, when I was on duty during incidents, Sultan Ahmad Shah was there too to visit the victims and hand out contributions to them.
“He is the Ruler in the people’s heart,” said Anuar.
Kemayan assemblyman Datuk Fadil Osman said Sultan Ahmad Shah was the best Ruler he had ever come across.
“It is very difficult to find someone like him as the state Ruler. He is hardworking, loving and always cares for his subjects,” he said.
Kerdau assemblyman Datuk Syed Ibrahim Syed Ahmad described Sultan Ahmad Shah as the Ruler of the people of Pahang.
“It means that Sultan Ahmad Shah is the Pahang people’s ‘umbrella’, the one chosen by God to be our Ruler. He is known as a generous Sultan and is always ready to serve the people. He always gives advice to us.
“In the Pahang development aspect, the Sultan will ensure that the development is carried out accordingly and continuously,” he said.
