WITH future-proofing people as her vision, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s eldest princess Tengku Puteri Raja Tengku Puteri Iman Afzan Al-Sultan Abdullah has set her sights on delivering literacy and mental health advocacy programmes nationwide “student by student, school by school, university by university, and state by state”.

“I would like to build a world where our youth are supported to become the very best versions of themselves, so they are able to contribute to society and become even better parents to their children,” she said in her speech as the latest honorary graduate of Heriot-Watt University Malaysia (HWUM).
