Friendly Sultan with a warm
heart
SELANGOR’S Ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, who is
celebrating his official birthday today, is noted for his ability to overlook
protocol and formality when the need arises. Businessman Shekh Imaduddin Hakmi
Shekh Yahya Hakmi recalls how he did not know who Sultan Sharafuddin was when
he first encountered him.
Shekh Imaduddin had taken part in a motor rally in February
2015 and arrived at the Thai-Myanmar border where he met another group that was
taking part in The Road to Mandalay rally.
Noting that Shekh Imaduddin’s car has a Malaysian
registration number plate, a gentleman in the group asked him if he was from
Malaysia.
“‘Yes, I am from Malaysia pakcik (uncle)’, I replied and
went on chatting until a friend gave me a nudge,” said Shekh Imaduddin, who
lives in Sg Petani, Kedah.
His friend told him it was the Sultan of Selangor that he
had just addressed as pakcik.
“I quickly went up to Tuanku and profusely apologised and
he graciously smiled and said it was all right,” said Shekh Imaduddin, adding
he was still deeply embarrassed by the incident.
Shekh Imaduddin said Sultan Sharafuddin spent the next 15
to 20 minutes speaking with him and his friends about the rally.
“He was very easy-going and friendly. It was a very casual
conversation and we were all at ease being around Tuanku,” he said.
Selangor Youth Community (also known as SAY) chief
executive officer Izhar Moslim concurred and said he first met Sultan Sharafuddin in April this year with a few others to present to the Ruler their
plans for the youth organisation.
“He was very relaxed and friendly, which put us at ease.
What was more important was that he gave excellent input and added on to the
ideas that we already had,” recalled Izhar.
Izhar added that the 71-year-old Sultan is very down to
earth and loves to share his experiences.
However, the Ruler is also a strict person and always
emphasises discipline and ethics, noted Izhar. And it was with a stern hand
that the Sultan handled the state’s Mentri Besar crisis in 2014.
After ensuring a smooth transition of power from Tan Sri Khalid
Ibrahim to the present Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Azmin Ali, Tuanku spoke his mind
without mincing his words in his speech during the swearing-in ceremony of the
state’s executive councillors after the crisis.
He held PKR’s infamous Kajang Move responsible for the
start of the Mentri Besar crisis in Selangor and chided DAP and PKR for the
turmoil created to oust Khalid.
Sultan Sharafuddin also expressed his concern over the
state’s water issue and wants Selangor to ensure there was adequate clean water
for domestic and industrial needs.
The Ruler also looks out for the vulnerable groups and in
his speech during the opening of the state legislative assembly in 2009, asked
for the land rights of the orang asli to be returned to them.
He said the orang asli community had undergone an erosion
of identity and it was time for their rights to be reinstated with the
resolution of their land problems.
Sultan Sharafuddin was born Tengku Idris Shah on Dec 24, 1945, at Istana Jemaah in Klang to the late Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah and his first wife Raja Saidatul Ihsan Tengku Badar Shah.

Sultan slams groups that sow discontent
KLANG: Selangor Ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah has taken to task groups in the guise of
non-governmental organisations (NGOs) that are out to sow discontent.
In his royal address in conjunction
with his 71st birthday’s investiture ceremony, Sultan Sharafuddin said these
groups hid behind NGOs which tried to create communal strife by generating
chaos that could threaten the nation’s stability.
“The actions of these unfavourable
groups must be stopped in order to gain the people’s, tourists’ and foreign
investors’ confidence,” said Sultan Sharafuddin yesterday.
The Ruler also said the development
and prosperity enjoyed by Selangor would continue if leaders at all levels – be
it political, community or religious – as well as the state’s civil servants
were able to work together in honesty.
Sultan Sharafuddin said negative
elements must be prevented from becoming cancerous among leaders and
administrators or the prosperity achieved would be destroyed due to the lack of
trustworthiness.
“Therefore, my advice to the state
leaders and civil servants is for them to learn from history about governments
that collapsed because of leaderships weak in character and weak in faith and practice
as well as failure to curb graft from spreading,” said Sultan Sharafuddin.
The Ruler also said he was worried
disaster might strike Selangor if the good values in society continued to
decline, especially among leaders who misused their power and position and were
involved in misappropriation and graft.
“Graft will also create a negative
implication towards the country’s leadership with their integrity, honesty and
transparency being questioned. As a result, leaders will be perceived as not
credible by the people,’’ he added.
Various titles and awards were given
to 101 people. Sultan Sharafuddin’s consort Tengku Permaisuri Norashikin and
the Raja Muda of Selangor, Tengku Amir Shah, who both received the Darjah
Kerabat Selangor Yang Amat Dihormati (DK), headed the list of recipients this
year.
Archbishop of South-East Asia’s
Anglican Church and Bishop of Kuching Reverend Bolly Lapok received the Dato’
Paduka Mahkota Selangor (DPMS) which comes with the title Datuk.
This year’s investiture ceremony was extra
special as it was the first time, after becoming the state’s Ruler, that Sultan
Sharafuddin has a consort by his side.
It was also the first investiture after the Raja Muda’s official proclamation as Selangor’s crown prince.
