“Sudah sampai masanya segala tumpuan perlu diberi kepada Pulau Tioman ini,” titah Paduka Baginda. -KESULTANAN PAHANG

HRH THE SULTAN OF PAHANG URGES PULAU TIOMAN TO BE GIVEN COMPREHENSIVE PRIORITY

PULAU TIOMAN, February 17, 2026 – His Royal Highness the Sultan of Pahang, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah Ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah, has stressed that Pulau Tioman must be placed as a top priority in the state’s development agenda and should no longer be regarded as a “faraway” area, thus receiving insufficient attention.

His Royal Highness explained that his visit to the island was not only to join the people in welcoming the holy month of Ramadan but also to personally observe the current situation and development progress in the area.

“I am here to be with my people in Pulau Tioman in welcoming the month of Ramadan. At the same time, this is an opportunity to meet and see firsthand the conditions in Pulau Tioman. I have said before, I will make Pulau Tioman a priority from my side, and this priority covers all aspects,” His Royal Highness said.

The titah was delivered during His Royal Highness’s working visit to attend the Pulau Tioman Development Briefing at Dewan Berjaya, Tioman Resort, today.

His Royal Highness arrived at 4 p.m. was accompanied by His Highness Tengku Panglima Raja Brigadier General Tengku Amir Nasser Ibrahim Shah.

During the briefing, His Royal Highness listened to presentations by the General Manager of the Tioman Development Authority (TDA) and the Economic Development Program for Asnaf by the Chief Executive Officer of the Pahang Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MUIP).

His Royal Highness emphasized that Pulau Tioman is a valuable asset and a gem of the state of Pahang that must be preserved and developed in a well-planned manner.

“Let us not, as the government, elected representatives, district officers, or department heads, consider Pulau Tioman as far away and therefore not give it priority. Please no more that attitude mentality. We must always look at the needs of the people of Tioman,” His Royal Highness said.

His Royal Highness also expressed concern over the island’s basic infrastructure, which he said remains behind compared to other areas.

“If we compare in terms of infrastructure, Pulau Tioman is still lagging in basic facilities. Roads are not in perfect condition, electricity is not fully reliable, water supply is incomplete, and some houses are not in good condition. It is time that full attention is given to Pulau Tioman,” His Royal Highness said. -KESULTANAN PAHANG
