DURING important ceremonies held at the Selangor royal palaces, a procession bearing the various royal regalia will formally make its entrance into the venue hall before the event begins.

One cannot but help notice the tall, lithe figure of the Bentara Raja leading the entourage while bearing the royal spear Lembing Sembuana.
