King makes personal donation to Covid-19 fund

Yang Di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah today made a personal donation to the Covid-19 fund.

Istana Negara, in a posting on its official Instagram page, said that the donation was presented to Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin through the Comptroller of the Royal Household of Istana Negara Ahmad Fadil Shamsuddin.

On March 31, the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong and Raja Permaisuri Agong Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah agreed to forgo their royal emoluments for six months from March to August this year to ease the burden of the government in handling the Covid-19 pandemic in the country.

The Agong also hoped that people would continue to be with both their Majesties, in praying for the mercy of Allah for His blessings and for the pandemic to end soon.
