Perlis ruler urges public to embrace reading and the arts
ARAU: The Raja of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Jamalullail has urged the people of the state to cultivate the habit of reading in their daily lives so that they become knowledgeable individuals who also appreciate the arts. Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin emphasised the importance of instilling a love of knowledge, especially among the people in Perlis, as knowledge is the foundation for self-development. 'People who read and love knowledge will grow into individuals who are knowledgeable, possess noble character, are devoted to religion, and highly skilled,' the Perlis monarch said when launching the 2025 Art Festival themed 'Warna dan Rasa' (Colours and Flavours) at the Simpang Empat branch library, near here today. Also in attendance was the Raja Perempuan of Perlis, Tuanku Tengku Fauziah Almarhum Tengku Abdul Rashid. His Royal Highness stated that the culture of knowledge and arts cannot be separated, with arts serving as a creative and effective medium for delivering knowledge and helping the development of creative thinking. 'For example, visual art is used to convey messages, moral values, and current issues, while performing arts like poetry and traditional music contain educational elements and good advice without being distracting,' said Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin. During the event, he also presented the 2025 Perlis Visual Arts Icon Award to Rosli Mat, 65, better known by his pen name Leemat. Rosli has been active in the visual arts scene for 45 years.

Perlis Ruler Urges Unity as Pillar of MADANI Nation
KANGAR: Unity among people of different races, religions, and ethnicities is a vital asset and a central pillar in achieving the formation of a MADANI society and nation, which the government is currently pursuing, said the Raja of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Jamalullail. His Royal Highness said that since unity is the key to the success and well-being of the people, continuous efforts must be made by all levels of society. 'Everyone must realise their role and responsibility in contributing to the strengthening of unity and values. 'Unity is not the responsibility of a single party. It requires a collective effort from government agencies, non-governmental organisations, community leaders, educational institutions, and every individual. We all have a part to play. 'Let us make our homes, schools, workplaces, and communities' platforms to nurture the spirit of unity and love among people,' His Royal Highness said at the official opening of this year's state-level Unity Week celebration here today. Gracing the event was Raja Perempuan of Perlis, Tuanku Tengku Fauziah Almarhum Tengku Abdul Rashid. Raja Muda of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail, Raja Puan Muda of Perlis, Tuanku Dr Hajah Lailatul Shahreen Akashah Khalil and Deputy Minister of National Unity, Senator Saraswathy Kandasami were also in attendance. Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin stated that the challenges to unity have become increasingly complex, ranging from issues of racism to extremist ideologies, emphasising that initiatives like Unity Week should serve as a platform to strengthen inter-ethnic interaction, broaden community networks, and foster understanding among communities. 'Therefore, I hope that this programme will achieve its goals by ensuring that the element of unity becomes the foundation in every action and interaction, based on mutual respect, cooperation, consensus, and tolerance,' the Ruler said. Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin also urged the people of Perlis, regardless of their background, to continue supporting this noble effort to ensure the continuity of harmony and stability in the state and the nation.
