A royal balancing force


The people

Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah is very tuned-in to the complex issues of Selangor. No subject was off the table as he sat down with The Star team comprising CEO Datuk Seri Wong Chun Wai, deputy executive editor Loong Meng Yee, associate editor Joceline Tan, journalist Rahimy Rahim and photographer K.K. Sham.

FROM afar, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah comes across as a stern-faced monarch. He is not a natural smiler and he walks like a military man – long strides and fists clenched.
