KUALA LUMPUR: The solemn call of the "Azan" echoed at Istana Negara early Tuesday (Jan 30), accompanying the departure of Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, who ended his reign as the 16th Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

The Azan called out by the Assistant Religious Officer at Istana Negara, Mohd Mustafidurrohman Mohd Syahroni, added to the pensive feeling of sadness among the staff of the national palace as they bade goodbye to Al-Sutan Abdullah and Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah.
