Yang di-Pertuan Agong cancels Hari Raya and takes a pay cut

His Majesty Yang di-Pertuan Agong has decreed and consented that his salary and emoluments be reduced by 10 percent throughout his reign as Agong until 2021, comptroller of the royal household Wan Ahmad Dahlan Abdul Aziz said in a statement today. His Majesty will also not be holding an Aidilfitri open house at the Istana Negara this year, as the funds for the event should be used for the less fortunate.
