“Like the rakyat, I am also fed up,” he said in a special interview with Bernama, marking his 25 years on the Selangor throne.

He urged politicians in the state to focus on serving the people, promoting economic growth and preserving unity to maintain the state's leading position in the country.

The sultan said there was no place for politics that exploited race and religion or dragged the royalty into political disputes.
