Istana Negara, August 5, 2013. GLENN GUAN/The Star (Barcelona)

KUALA LUMPUR: In a bizarre attempt to claim the country’s throne, 10 people tried to enter Istana Negara in Jalan Duta, armed with nothing more than flags and self-produced documents declaring their leader as the “true heir” to the throne.

The group, all members of a cult known as Kumpulan Panji Hitam dari Timur Empayar Langkasuka Nusan­tara, gathered in front of the main entrance of the palace at around 4.10am yesterday.
