MERSING: His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, today personally piloted a speedboat to inspect the waters around Mersing, reflecting His Majesty’s continued concern for marine conservation and environmental sustainability.

According to a post on Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar’s official Facebook page, His Majesty, who places strong emphasis on beach cleanliness and the preservation of marine ecosystems, also dived underwater during the visit to observe conditions beneath the surface.
