Sultan of Pahang proposes centre to promote Jawi script
PEKAN: The Sultan of Pahang, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, has expressed plans to establish the Pahang Jawi Reference Centre to serve as a hub for education and the preservation of the Jawi script. The ruler said a dedicated body or institution should be established under the Pahang Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (Muip) to officially conduct Jawi courses, training sessions, and certification programmes. "I urge all relevant quarters to give full commitment to the proposal, as the Jawi script is a significant heritage and a symbol of Islamic civilisation that must be preserved.

The Kesultanan Pahang Facebook page also wrote that Muip deputy president Tengku Panglima Raja Brig Gen Tengku Amir Nasser Ibrahim Shah was also present.
