“The audience with His Majesty focuses on latest developments on sensitive issues pertaining to race and religion,” said an Instagram post on April 9.

Sultan Ibrahim said that the leaders must set an example by showing maturity in their actions, as this will unite Malaysia’s multicultural society.

“I want to advise all quarters to focus on uniting the people, instead of dividing them. I want to see the people unite in harmony.

“I also hope that political leaders are not extreme in their views pertaining to racial and religious issues. Not just DAP and Umno, but all parties.

“Leaders must be a bridge or link between Malaysians with examples of mature behaviour,” said His Majesty.

The King also said recent events have served as a lesson that all segments of society have a responsibility in preserving national unity.

“Genuine unity among the people will be the catalyst for Malaysia’s wellbeing. Ahead of this Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration, let’s forgive one another and open up a new chapter,” decreed His Majesty.
