Face to face: A royal force for charity

Malaysia’s Queen is well-known internationally for her voluntary work with Girl Guides associations and the Women’s Institute.

A RECENT video of Tunku Hajah Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah having her car stop by a roadside stall so she could ask whether her favourite mee bandung was available caused quite a stir on social media. It’s not what you expect of royalty. But it is actually very typical of our Queen.

Those close to the Raja Permaisuri Agong will tell you that her spontaneity and down-to-earth personality have always been part of her charm. She resonates with the rakyat simply by being her true, authentic self.
