When I went to sembah to Her Royal Highness Sultanah Kalsom of Pahang as she arrived at Majestic Hotel Ballroom, Her Royal Highness said, "The tiger is my favorite animal! I am delighted to be Patron of Majestic Tiger Ball 2014 as this most worthy of causes is close to my heart."
I asked if there was a special reason why Her Royal Highness chose the tiger unless she was born in Year of Tiger.
"If I tell you, I hope you won't think I am being boastful. When I was young, people used to call me 'Tiger Eyes'!" she smiled.
I took this opportunity to look at Her Royal Highness's eyes as protocol dictates we are not supposed to. Indeed Sultanah Kalsom's eyes were exceptional beautiful, sparkling with vitality and wondrously formed. More importantly, they were kind and compassionate! Little wonder Her Royal Highness supports so many charities and worthwhile causes as she is in a position to help.
Sultanah Kalsom also revealed a little known secret. "My son's name Fahd is also related to my favorite animal as 'fahd' means 'tiger' or 'panther'! It is an Arabic name like former Saudi King Fahd and symbolises strength and courage. So you see, there is this connection to the tiger that occurs in my life."
Her Royal Highness Sultanah Kalsom added, "I even had this tiger inspired dress made just for this occasion to show my support for the survival of wild tigers." Her lovely dress with distinctive tiger print was by royal couturier Dato Bernard Chandran.
HER ROYAL HIGHNESS SULTANAH KALSOM OF PAHANG IS ACKNOWLEDGED AS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SULTANAH IN THE WORLD AND SHE IS ALSO VERY COMPASSIONATE AND CARING.
