“It is my honour to serve the DYMM Sultan Selangor’s command to all the Mosque Committee Members or Kariah Committee Members who are responsible to take good care of the vehicle remains under their supervision and use it for dealings with the body only.
“He was not pleased that hearse was misused other than the business of the body like demonstrations or rented to other uses that do not have to do with the handling of the bodies,” the statement said.
