Tengku Hassanal is continuing to champion environmental conservation despite his duties as Regent of Pahang coming to an end by next year.
While noting that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah would be returning next year as the Sultan of Pahang, Tengku Hassanal also recently urged the state government to keep on pursuing sustainable development.
“We have no choice. We need to develop a strategy to shift from traditional economic resources such as minerals and timber to alternative sources,” said Tengku Hassanal. Tengku Hassanal also said he often received reports on enforcement activities on trespass, theft of minerals, and illegal encroachment of forest reserves.“Yes, Pahang is really vast. But this cannot be an excuse not to act aggressively against the thieves of Pahang’s treasures.
Tengku Hassanal was appointed as the Pahang Regent by Al-Sultan Abdullah upon taking on the role of Yang di-Pertuan Agong in 2019. As the Regent, Tengku Hassanal is carrying out state duties in the stead of Al-Sultan Abdullah while he is serving his term as King. A Regent must be a Malay of Pahang, of Muslim faith and of royal blood. As for the Regency Council, it must be made up of at least three Malay-Muslim members from Pahang but does not need to be of royal blood.
