The candid side of our new King


IT was just before noon when we saw the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, walking towards the Sri Maharaja Hall, one of the rooms at Istana Negara, where we were waiting to interview his His Majesty.

The King was a few minutes early. From afar, we could see how he kept a steady pace entering the room, with palace officials in tow.
