IPOH, Sultan of Perak Sultan Nazrin Shah and Raja Permaisuri Perak Tuanku Zara Salim today visited Taiping Lake Gardens today to assess the current situation there due to the ongoing dry spell, which has caused several sections, including the lakes and ponds to dry up.
Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad, in a Facebook post, said that Their Royal Highnesses’ visit was to observe the water levels, which have significantly dropped due to prolonged dry weather over the past two months.
“Concerned about the water levels at the Taiping Lake Gardens, His Royal Highness Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah and Her Royal Highness Raja Permaisuri Perak, Tuanku Zara Salim, stopped by to inspect the area this afternoon,” the post read.
The post also mentioned that Sultan Nazrin and Tuanku Zara took the opportunity to mingle with visitors there.
