PETALING JAYA: Sultan Azlan Shah is a name synonymous with Malay­sian hockey. The late Sultan of Perak indeed was the “Father of Malaysian hockey”.

He was the longest serving president of the then Malaysian Hockey Federation (MHF), having taken over as president in 1976 from former Prime Minister Tun Abdul Razak.
