THE installation of the 29th Sultan of Kedah on Oct 22 was truly a special occasion, and the highlights of the main ceremony in the throne room as well as preceding events, such as the intriguing Istiadat Letak Kerja and the royal procession, are viewable on YouTube.

The last time these events were seen was in February 1959, when the 28th Sultan of Kedah, Sultan Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah ibni Almarhum Sultan Badlishah, became the first Ruler to be installed in an independent Federation of Malaya, which had celebrated Merdeka 18 months prior.
