KUANTAN: Tengku Mahkota Pahang Tengku Hassanal Ibrahim Alam Shah Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah (pic) has consented to lead the Mahkota Borneo Expedition scheduled to take place from May 11 to 13.

Comptroller of the Royal Household of the Sultan of Pahang Major General Datuk Mohamed Zahari Yahya said Tengku Hassanal is expected to arrive at Kota Kinabalu International Airport at about 1 pm on Monday before holding a meeting with Sabah Yang Dipertua Negeri Tun Musa Aman to exchange ideas and views.

He said that through the expedition, His Royal Highness will also climb Mount Kinabalu the following day (May 12), accompanied by officers and personnel from the Royal Malaysian Air Force Special Forces (PASKAU) as well as close aides from the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM).

“The Mahkota Borneo Expedition also reflects the spirit of leadership, physical endurance and high discipline consistently instilled by His Royal Highness among the younger generation and the nation’s security forces,” he said in a media statement on Saturday.

In addition, he said the expedition is also seen as capable of strengthening ties and strategic cooperation between the states of Pahang and Sabah, while fostering the spirit of unity and patriotism among Malaysians.
