Friendly Sultan with a warm heart


Sultan Sharafuddin shaking hands with Selangor‘s Selection team player Saiful Ridzuan Selamat during the 15th Sultan Selangor Cup at Shah Alam Stadium in May this year.

SELANGOR’S Ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, who is celebrating his official birthday today, is noted for his ability to overlook protocol and formality when the need arises. Businessman Shekh Imaduddin Hakmi Shekh Yahya Hakmi recalls how he did not know who Sultan Sharafuddin was when he first encountered him.

Shekh Imaduddin had taken part in a motor rally in February 2015 and arrived at the Thai-Myanmar border where he met another group that was taking part in The Road to Mandalay rally.
