King for the rakyat: The Yang di-Pertuan Agong sending flying kisses to the crowd of Pahang citizens who saw him off to his coronation in Kuala Lumpur on Jan 31. — Bernama
JAN 31 was a work day for me so I missed the live telecast of Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah being sent off to Kuala Lumpur by the rakyat of Pahang. Being a Pahangite myself, I badly wanted to watch the historic moment. Thanks to a kind soul, I eventually caught the event on Facebook four days ago.
What I saw took me by surprise. Tuanku, after taking a few steps up the staircase to the waiting airplane, turned around and sent flying kisses to the rakyat. And then he shocked me: Just before entering the plane Tuanku turned around and bowed to the rakyat.
