KUANTAN – Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah has described today’s sending-off ceremony, after the completion of his reign as the 16th Yang di-Pertuan Agong, as a memorable event.
Al-Sultan Abdullah also expressed appreciation to all parties involved in ensuring the smoothness of the ceremony, which touched the hearts of His Majesty and Raja Permaisuri Agong Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah.
“The sending-off ceremony for me was quite memorable, from the Istana Negara to Parliament and then to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) with various cultural performances.
“… and I arrived in Kuantan feeling quite moved. It’s like I couldn’t believe this was my last day as a king,” he said at the Midday Banquet at the Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Silver Jubilee Hall today.
Also gracing the ceremony were the Raja Permaisuri Agong and their children, including the Regent of Pahang, Tengku Hassanal Ibrahim Alam Shah. – January 30, 2024
