During the Silver Jubilee of his reign, Sultan Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, issued several calls for political stability and responsible leadership. In early October, the Sultan urged political leaders to avoid infighting and power struggles, stating that efforts should instead be directed toward state development and public welfare.

Reflecting on his 25-year reign, the Sultan expressed a desire to leave a legacy of progress, strong institutions, and social harmony. He advised future leaders, including the Raja Muda of Selangor, Tengku Amir Shah, to view their roles as a trust rather than a privilege, stressing the importance of humility, listening to others, and upholding the Constitution to serve the public interest.

In late October, the Sultan further emphasized the need for cooperation between religious scholars (ulama) and political leaders (umara) to uphold Islam. He noted that while their roles differ, they must strengthen one another through a relationship characterized by respect for jurisdiction and constructive criticism. He identified the Selangor Sultanate’s legacy in empowering Islam through continuous governance, support for education, and the establishment of institutions that translate Sharia law into policy and public services. Additionally, he urged scholars to rely on authoritative sources rather than unverified information from short videos.
