KUALA LUMPUR, June 2 — His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, the King of Malaysia, has announced that he will embark on a Kembara Diraja (royal tour) across all Federal Territories.
The tour will enable the sovereign to witness the people's lives first-hand and personally distribute tithe funds to the poor and the eight categories of ‘asnaf’.
His Majesty made the announcement during the investiture in conjunction with his official birthday at Istana Negara today.
Previously, Sultan Ibrahim was synonymous with the Kembara Mahkota Johor (KMJ), a tour initiated by His Majesty in 2001 when he was the Tunku Mahkota of Johor.
The annual programme enabled the Johor royal family to meet the people and extend aid to the poor.
