TEMERLOH (Bernama): Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah Saturday (June 1) brought the people here to tears as he was overcome with emotion when he spoke about his late father, Paduka Ayahanda Sultan Ahmad Shah Al-Musta'in Billah. Sultan Abdullah said his late father excelled in various fields including religion, education, welfare, military and sports, which was why he refused to let his name be commemorated at the new mosque here, which he officiated Saturday. Paduka Ayahanda could not be here today. He was always ahead of the scheduled time, sometimes even earlier than the arrival of the Tengku Mahkota Pahang (Sultan Abdullah’s former title). The atmosphere turned sombre as Sultan Abdullah, on behalf of his whole family, expressed gratitude to the specialists, nurses, hospital staff, policemen, the army, Istana employees and all those who served his late father.
