Pahang ruler Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah has expressed sadness and disappointment over the Molotov cocktail attack involving the KK Mart branch in Sungai Isap, Kuantan yesterday.

Comptroller Mohamed Zahari Yahya said that Sultan Abdullah received the information from the police about the incident, and ordered them to pay serious attention and take decisive and immediate action.

“His Royal Highness strongly condemned (the act), and described the incident as an illegal act, as well as against the religious belief that always emphasises peace and tolerance.

“Sultan Abdullah also calls on everyone, especially the people of Pahang, not to be easily influenced by racial narratives which can disrupt the harmony enjoyed thus far,” he said in a statement yesterday.

His Royal Highness also ordered all parties to respect the law and legal process the government has taken regarding the case of the sale of socks with the word Allah printed on them.

“In that regard, in conjunction with this blessed month of Ramadan, His Royal Highness calls on the people to pray that Pahang and Malaysia will always be blessed,” Zahari added.
