He also called on stakeholders to work towards a credible, free, fair, and transparent election.
In his Eid-el-Fitr message, the Sultan wished Muslims a peaceful and prosperous celebration, reminding them to reflect on their actions and sustain the virtues imbibed during Ramadan.
He also encouraged Muslims to observe the six-day voluntary fast in Shawwal, as recommended by Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
