KUALA LUMPUR, June 15 — His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, and Her Majesty Raja Zarith Sofiah, Queen of Malaysia, today extended warm Father’s Day wishes to all fathers across the nation.

In a heartfelt message shared on Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar’s official Facebook page, His Majesty highlighted the vital role fathers play in their families and in shaping their children's lives.

“A father is not only the backbone of the family, but also a pillar of strength and guidance for his children,” His Majesty wrote.

Sultan Ibrahim also conveyed deep gratitude for the unwavering sacrifices, love, and guidance that fathers generously provide to their families.

“Thank you for all the sacrifices, love and guidance. Though often left unspoken, a father’s love and devotion are always deeply felt in the heart,” he said.

His Majesty also offered prayers for his late father, Almarhum Sultan Iskandar, as well as Almarhum Sultan Idris Shah II, asking that they be blessed by Allah SWT.
