Pahang Sultan Calls For Collective Effort To Keep Jawi Script Alive
KUANTAN, Aug 19 (Bernama) -- Sultan of Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah has called on the people of the state to take the lead in reviving the spirit and use of the Jawi script. His Royal Highness said that preserving the Jawi script was not just the responsibility of schools or religious institutions but a duty shared by all levels of society. 'The Jawi script is the lifeblood and true face of Malay identity. If it were to disappear from our lives, it would be as though part of the spirit and soul of this nation had vanished. 'Let it not merely become an obsolete treasure kept in a museum, but continue to live as the pulse of life, from remote villages to cities, from administrative affairs to the limitless virtual realm,' he said. The Pahang ruler made the remarks at the closing ceremony of the International Jawi and Malay Heritage Convention 2025 here today. Also present were the Tengku Mahkota of Pahang, Tengku Hassanal Ibrahim Alam Shah, and Tengku Panglima Raja Brigadier General Tengku Amir Nasser Ibrahim Shah. At the event, His Royal Highness also launched the book Mahir Jawi: Panduan Komprehensif Untuk Semua Renggung, produced by Munsyi Dewan Jawi of Universiti Islam Pahang Sultan Ahmad Shah (UniPSAS). Al-Sultan Abdullah said that he was aware of the challenges confronting the Jawi script in the current modern age, saying that it remained seldom used in daily life, sidelined in formal communication, and increasingly distant from the younger generation. To strengthen the Jawi script, he proposed several measures, including leveraging digital technology by developing Jawi-based applications and using social media platforms to ensure it remained relevant to the younger generation. His Royal Highness added that efforts should be made by local authorities to standardise Jawi script at business premises and tourist attractions in Pahang, train more Jawi experts through regular intensive courses, and strengthen research on Malay manuscripts written in Jawi script.
