KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 1 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has prayed for the recovery of the Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, who is unwell after contracting Influenza A.

He also prayed that His Royal Highness would always be under the protection and blessings of Allah SWT.

“May Allah SWT grant His Royal Highness Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah Alhaj Ibni Almarhum Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Alhaj, Sultan and Ruler of Selangor Darul Ehsan, a speedy recovery and good health,” he said in a Facebook post yesterday.

Earlier, Istana Alam Shah said in a statement that the infection had been detected by the Sultan’s two personal physicians, Datuk Dr Anuar Onah and Datuk Dr Tan Hui Meng, after Sultan Sharafuddin had been experiencing a high fever and weakness in his limbs since the previous morning.

Following this, Sultan Sharafuddin was advised to rest and refrain from attending any functions for five to seven days to allow him to recover fully. — Bernama
