KUALA LUMPUR, July 12 — The Raja Permaisuri Agong Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah attended the Royal High-Tea reception at Istana Negara, earlier today.
Her Majesty, who arrived at 4pm, was accompanied by the Sultanah of Terengganu Sultanah Nur Zahirah, the Tengku Permaisuri of Selangor Tengku Permaisuri Norashikin, the Raja Permaisuri of Perak Tuanku Zara Salim, the Raja Puan Muda of Perlis Tuanku Lailatul Shahreen Akashah Khalil, and the Raja Perempuan of Kelantan Tengku Anis Tengku Abdul Hamid.
Also in attendance were the Prime Minister’s wife Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, and the Deputy Prime Minister’s wife Datin Seri Ruziah Mohd Tahir.
A total of 350 guests were present at the ceremony, including local fashion designers, politicians, celebrities, and influencers.
The event was enlivened with singing performances as well as a traditional fashion show with songket and Tenun Pahang (Pahang weave), led by fashion designer Datuk Radzuan Radziwill.
When met by Bernama after the event, Radzuan said there were 60 models participating in the fashion show, with each demonstrating a combination of four types of traditional fabrics.
The four fabrics are the Royal Pahang Weave, Yayasan Tuanku Nur Zahirah songket, Pink Jambu Batik, and Telepuk (rich fabric), also from the Royal Pahang Weave.
"This traditional combination of four to five types of fabrics is neither cut nor sewn to ensure that the fabrics woven by prison inmates and single mothers can be sold directly to interested buyers, thus providing income to those involved," he said.
In addition, a total of 70 outfits from Tunku Azizah's personal collection were displayed outside the dining hall.
