A refreshing read on Her Royal Highness Tengku Permaisuri Norashikin has made its appearance.
Ultimate professional: The Tunku Permaisuri incredibly went back to work after the solemnisation ceremony of her marriage to Sultan Selangor, and became the first Permaisuri to read the 8pm prime news!
– offers surprisingly interesting insight into the life of the new royal member, which I’m sure caught many Malaysians off-guard, even her former colleagues in the newsroom at Angkasapuri.But here’s the gem. On Aug 31,2016, she drove herself to the mosque at Istana Alam Shah for the solemnisation ceremony, or akad nikah, where the Sultan of Selangor was awaiting his bride.
Upon the ceremony’s conclusion, the Tuanku joined her and the children to return to his Istana Mestika palace in Shah Alam, and then, incredibly, she went back to work, and became the first Permaisuri to read the 8pm prime news! But a week before the big day excitement, she had submitted a leave application to her news editor, requesting a two-week break from Sept 1 “to settle some personal matters” – which meant time off for her honeymoon, moving into Tuanku’s house and running the errands of any newly-weds.
She spoke of how she wasn’t sure whether she had to stand or remain seated so, when the toast was made, “I followed Tuanku’s cue.” Her Royal Highness also shared her experiences visiting flood victims on Oct 19,2016, at a hall in Klang, where she and the Raja Muda served food to the people. Her involvement with the Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to the Animals Selangor is well known, and she is also the Royal Patron for the Stray Free Selangor campaign.
My favourite chapter in her book is about her decision to drive Tuanku to her mum’s house without police outriders, while having HRH seated in the passenger seat.
