KUALA LUMPUR: The installation ceremony of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah on July 30 is a symbol of the country’s pride, says an academician
International Islamic University’s Law Faculty lecturer Assoc Prof Dr Shamrahayu Abd Aziz said the ceremony, which was a form of respect for the royal institution, also reflected Malaysia’s rich customs, culture and identity as a sovereign nation.
