A Royal Reflection – A Story Of Glory


Muscat, Sultanate of Oman, December 5, 2013

Beautiful inside out ...

Being a woman does not mean you can’t show your remarkable ability

Being a wife does not mean you can’t be far more precious than jewel

Being a mother does not mean you can’t be amazing to the world

That is how it has been proven by Her Royal Highness Princess Zarith Sofiah bint Alhmarhum Sultan Idris Shah when she was invited to Sultanate of Oman as a guest-of-honor at the Sultan Qaboos Award for Voluntary Work, and to give a speech during the ceremony.

Her Highness Princess Zarith Sofiah addressed about the connotation and significance of doing charitable work that women as well can contribute tremendously especially in the roles of wives and mothers.

During her visit to Sultanate of Oman and Sultan Qaboos University from December 4 - December 7, 2013, she was accompanied by her lovely daughter, YAM Tunku Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah and his charming son, YAM Tunku Abdul Jalil, the Tunku Laksamana of Johor.

Dr Ali Bin Saud al Bimani, Vice Chancellor of Sultan Qaboos University and Her Highness Sayyidah Dr Mona bint Fahd Al Said, Assistant Vice Chancellor for External Cooperation receive the delegation where they appraised the existing coalition amid the Sultan Qaboos University and the Malaysian higher educational organizations.

The meeting truly strengthened the ties between the two countries by facilitating scholars and faculty exchange in various fields namely health sciences, nursing and engineering.  For record as of today, there are eight students from Malaysia under this exchange program and 70 Malaysians attached in various units at Sultan Qaboos University.

Her Highness Princess Zarith Sofiah and her entourage also took the opportunity to visit Nizwa, the old capital of this country.  Located about 140km from Muscat, this oldest city was the center of trade, religion, education and art.

As Malaysian, we are truly pleased and proud of the ties more so this royal visit really received distinguished respectable, attention and reputation throughout the sultanate.  Her Royal Highness and delegation were so pleased to receive the overwhelming warm hospitality and be showered with affection from the people of Oman and everyone they met throughout the visit.

In conclusion, having achieved all that grandeur and still being a humble princess, Her Royal Highness Princess Zarith Sofiah has shown the true blaze of glory of a royal reflection.  For that, we love Her Highness even more!
