RISM’S Patron’s Birthday

Today, the 11th of December 2011 is the birthday of HRH the Sultan of Selangor.  Acknowledging the significance of this day, we took the opportunity to wish and send him our greetings and a birthday cake – a 7kg American chocolate cake specially baked by the Chef of AnCasa Hotel (formally known as Impiana Hotel).

American Chocolate Cake
HRH the Sultan of Selangor is our patron and we are certainly proud to have him as one.  In an interview with the various media on the occasion of his 10th year on the throne and his 66th birthday, he had emphasised that he does not want anything lavish for any function he attends and that organisers should stop giving him mementoes.  We are all aware that in many functions throughout the country, there tends to be extravagance, if we consider the amount of money spent on entertainers, the food, and even on custom designed apparels that can only be worn once.

In fact, HRH gave a suggestion that if a gift has to be given, he would prefer books, which he could read and later donate to the public libraries to be shared by the public. Considering this current stance by HRH, we should pay heed to this latest call by him and do the appropriate in future dealings with him.

One key point raised by HRH in the interview is the need to maintain peace and prosperity so that development and success could be sustained; and that he is grateful to all the services that had contributed to the development of Selangor.  And this would certainly include our services, the royal Surveyors!
