PETALING JAYA: In view of the racial tensions that flared up after the temple riots, Permaisuri Johor Raja Zarith Sofiah Almarhum Sultan Idris Shah remembers all her Indian friends and staff who have been part of her family’s everyday life.

“On 5th December, it will be three years since my son, Jalil, passed away. Our family has not stopped grieving but this year, the grief is mixed with a kind of particular sadness: a sadness to see that racial intolerance and misunderstanding have come to the fore again,” she said in a post on her personal Facebook page yesterday.
