Malaysian athletes’ achievements at the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, as well as the sacrifices made by the country’s frontline fighters in the fight against Covid-19, were lauded in Parliament today by Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah.

When he opened the fourth session of the 14th Parliament today, His Majesty showed his gratitude by also requesting Members of Parliament to rise and offer them a rousing applause.

On this occasion, I would like to express my congratulations on the country’s athletes’ achievement, who have worked tirelessly to elevate the nation’s profile with the support and prayers of all Malaysians.

“I also appreciate the country’s frontliners’ loyalty and contribution, particularly those in the health service, who continue to work tirelessly and face numerous challenges throughout the long pandemic landscape. “Therefore, let us continue to support and thank all frontliners and other critical sectors for their unparalleled services,” His Majesty added.
