"A heaviness lies in my heart,
A King has left this mortal world.
From his family, his people, he is apart.
Rest in peace, dear King,
You have given your all,
We shall honour your name,
We shall never let it fall."
Raja Zarith Sofiah's son Tunku Temenggong Johor Tunku Idris Ibni Sultan Ibrahim also paid tribute to the late Kedah Sultan on his Instagram.
He posted a black-and-white photo of Sultan Abdul Halim and offered his condolences to the Kedah royal family, stating that Malaysia had truly lost a great Sultan.
"You have been such a great role model to me, showing me that no matter how unwell or tired you feel on that day, duty comes first.
"My heart goes out to all rakyat Kedah," he said.
