Pahang State Exco Unanimously Approves Tuanku Muhriz Abdication Proclamation

The Pahang state executive council has reached a unanimous decision to approve the proclamation regarding the abdication of Sultan Muhriz, according to Mentri Besar Ismail Lasim. The approval marks a significant step in formalizing the Sultan's decision to step down from his position. Ismail said the state secretary has been tasked with proceeding to gazette the proclamation in accordance with existing regulations and procedures. The move follows the Sultan's earlier announcement of his intention to abdicate, which was accepted by the council during its meeting. The gazetting of the proclamation will make the abdication official under constitutional and legal frameworks governing the Pahang sultanate.
