The royal couple, in a post on Facebook today, said the loss of the national heroes was not only felt by their families and colleagues, but also touched the hearts of all the people and members of the security forces who are always dedicated to their duties.
'We are deeply saddened by the passing of all the national heroes who have sacrificed their lives and shown high commitment in carrying out their duties as security personnel,' they said.
Al-Sultan Abdullah and Tunku Azizah also prayed that the souls of all of them be blessed by Allah SWT and placed among the believers.
'May their families be blessed with fortitude, strength and divine protection in facing this very difficult moment,' according to the post.
The incident occurred around 8.50 am when a truck carrying 18 FRU personnel was returning to Ipoh from an assignment in Teluk Intan and was rammed by the gravel-laden lorry along Jalan Chikus-Sungai Lampam.
Nine FRU personnel were killed in the crash, two were seriously injured, and seven others sustained minor injuries
The final honours for nine FRU personnel were held in accordance with Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) ceremonial protocols at the FRU Unit 5 base in Sungai Senam here at 3.46 am today.
The caskets, draped with the Jalur Gemilang, arrived at the ceremony from the Hilir Perak district police headquarters (IPD), accompanied by full police honours.
More than 500 individuals, comprising next of kin and police personnel, gathered to witness the final farewell for the fallen heroes before the remains were then transported to their respective hometowns for burial.

Motoring Influencer, Brother Jailed And Fined For Lodging False Police Report
MUAR, July 25 (Bernama) -- Motoring influencer Tengku Nizaruddin Tengku Zainudin and his younger brother, Tengku Abdul Aziz, were each sentenced to one month's imprisonment and fined RM1,500 by the Magistrates' Court today for lodging a false police report. Magistrate Suzana Mokhtar imposed the sentence after both accused, Tengku Nizaruddin, 38, also known as "Ija", and Tengku Abdul Aziz, 30, pleaded guilty to their respective charges. The court ordered the jail term to commence today and ruled that both men would serve an additional three months' imprisonment if they failed to pay the fine. According to the charge, Tengku Nizaruddin was accused of abetting his brother by instructing him to provide false information to a police officer, claiming that the accused had gone missing and was uncontactable since 4 pm on July 14. He was charged under Section 109 of the Penal Code, which provides for a maximum jail term of six months, or a fine not exceeding RM2,000, or both, upon conviction. Tengku Abdul Aziz was separately charged under Section 182 of the Penal Code with providing false information to a police officer regarding the alleged disappearance of his brother at 11.38 pm on July 14, at the Lenga police station enquiry office. Deputy public prosecutors Nur Ameerah Allaudeen and Yasmin Mohd Piah urged the court to impose both imprisonment and a fine on the accused, citing the seriousness of the offence, which had wasted the manpower and resources of the Royal Malaysia Police and the Muar Fire and Rescue Department, and undermined their efforts. 'This is a common offence that is frequently committed. Given the public attention this case has received, we hope it will serve as a deterrent to others,' they said. In mitigation, lawyer Nor Hafizah Abdullah from the National Legal Aid Foundation, representing both accused, pleaded for a fine, stating that her clients had expressed remorse, apologised to the police and fire department, and had cooperated fully with the authorities.

FAM urges AFC and AFF action over Jalur Gemilang flag insult at U-23 match
KUALA LUMPUR, July 24 — The Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) has contacted the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) and the Asean Football Federation (AFF) to take appropriate action regarding the controversy over the Jalur Gemilang being 'desecrated' during the Asean Under-23 Championship against Indonesia at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta on Monday. FAM president Datuk Mohd Joehari Mohd Ayub said he views the incident seriously and deeply regrets it occurring in a match that saw the national squad tied 0-0 with the hosts. 'We don't condone this kind of act, whether at the national or international level. We are dealing with the AFC and AFF (for the next course of action),' he said after the launch of the 2025 National Women's League (LWN) here today. Recently, a screenshot of the Jalur Gemilang being 'crossed out (with an 'X' drawn on it)' and held upside down by Indonesian fans during the match went viral on social media. The goalless draw saw Malaysia failing to advance to the semi-finals of the Asean Under-23 Championship after finishing the group stage in third place with four points, behind group winners Indonesia (seven points) and the Philippines (six points). Brunei finished bottom of the group with no points. Malaysia began their campaign with a 2-0 loss to the Philippines before bouncing back to thrash Brunei 7-1. They, however, failed to beat Indonesia, who only needed a draw to advance to the semi-finals. Meanwhile, Mohd Joehari will also discuss with FAM lawyers to take further action against an Indonesian football observer whose slur claimed that Malaysia have been suspended by the International Football Federation (Fifa) until 2027. The observer, through a podcast, accused FAM of fielding players whose lineage is unclear to qualify for playing with Harimau Malaya. The Malaysian squad, strengthened by the presence of seven new heritage players, including Facundo Garces, Joao Figueiredo, Imanol Machuca and Rodrigo Holgado, created a big impact as they thrashed Vietnam 4-0 in their second Group F match in the 2027 Asian Cup third-round qualifiers at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil last month. Harimau Malaya currently lead Group F with six points, followed by Vietnam and Laos (both with three points each) and Nepal, with no points. — Bernama
