Sultan Ibrahim said Mersing is a tourism district that often draws local and international tourists and is rich in nature’s beauty.

“In this nearly 40-minute aerial survey, I inspected the surrounding areas in the Mersing district, including its coastal area. Mersing is rich in flora and fauna and boasts many islands that attract tourists,” His Majesty told the Royal Press Office.

The King also reminded resort owners and villagers about maintaining the islands’ cleanliness.

“Do not be surprised, as I will conduct surprise patrols in villages and islands in Mersing,” said Sultan Ibrahim.

“I also discovered that the combat training diving pool at the camp is not fully completed. It should have been handed over to the 21 GGK (21st Special Service Group) in December 2022.

“I was told the relevant party had requested an extension six times,” said the King.
