Sultan’s acts of kindness remembered

Johor council of royal court president Datuk Dr Abdul Rahim Ramli

BACK in 1993, then Johor state secretary Datuk Dr Abdul Rahim Ramli was pressured into leaving his job during a time of political turmoil in the state. He opted for optional retirement at 51, only to see many of his then “friends” ignore him. It was, he said, the “lowest point” of his life.

But one man stayed in touch even during those toughest of times – His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia.
