Tengku Hassanal later signed the visitors’ book before being escorted by Mohd Arifin and Isyak to the Office of the Yang Dipertua Negeri Sabah for a meeting with Tun Musa.
The meeting, which lasted more than an hour, served as a platform for both leaders to exchange views and ideas on various matters.
Following the meeting, Tengku Hassanal is expected to depart for Kundasang, Ranau, to lead the Mahkota Borneo Expedition scheduled to begin Monday until May 13.
As part of the expedition, His Highness is scheduled to climb Mount Kinabalu today (Tuesday) alongside 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 values of leadership, physical endurance and discipline that Tengku Hassanal consistently promotes among the younger generation and members of the nation’s security forces.
The expedition is also expected to further strengthen ties and strategic cooperation between the states of Pahang and Sabah, while fostering unity and patriotism among Malaysians.
