PETALING JAYA: The granddaughter of Kedah’s Sultan, Raja Sarina Iskandar, paid a touching tribute to Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah, saying that Kedah and Malaysia “have lost one of their greatest kings”.

“Your dedication to Kedah and Malaysia has inspired me growing up. When you were the Yang di-Pertuan Agong for the second time at the age of 83, I moved in with you at Istana Negara. It was then that I saw for the first time the behind-the-scenes of your life,” she said on her Instagram.
