Johor Sultan to undergo surgery in KL on July 18

JOHOR BAHRU - The Sultan of Johor, Sultan Ibrahim Almarhum Sultan Iskandar will undergo surgery on his right shoulder due to an old injury at the Damansara Specialist Hospital 2 (DSH2) in Kuala Lumpur on July 18 (Tuesday).

Johor Royal Court Council president Datuk Dr Abdul Rahim Ramli said Sultan Ibrahim hoped that the people would not worry and he prayed that they would be blessed and protected by God.

His Majesty also decreed that he will still attend the Kembara Mahkota Johor road trip and other programmes as scheduled next month.

"Post-surgery, Sultan Ibrahim might need to keep his arm in a sling following the doctor’s advice. But His Majesty has said that this will not hinder him from performing his duties of meeting the people in every district,” Abdul Rahim said in a statement.

He said the Royal Court Council also urged the people to pray for Sultan Ibrahim’s smooth procedure and speedy recovery and be blessed with continuous good health.

The four-day Kembara Mahkota Johor, last held in 2019, is set to start on Aug 5. - BERNAMA
