Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah (and Queen Saleha) Current Events 1: July 2005-

[Humera]

yes Laila I agree with you.

Looks like the Sultan is back performing his duties.
No honeymoon for the newlyweds? or perhaps they had a really short one

He looks a bit young in those pictures, did he dye his hair?

Pics from Infofoto:

I think they had a very short honeymoon. I heard the the wife is here but I don't konw where she's staying. Saw him opn tv. I might be wrong but I'm sure that his face is pratically glowing

 

[BOLK]

During HM trip to New York recently, along with him, his new wife, while the 1st one in London. The rumor is after New York, they flew to London, staying at Dorchester, as his 1st wife in their palace ................ eeemmmm

From what I've heard, they're not staying at Dorchester...they stay somewhere else where there is less Malays around. I heard most of the maids are non-malays so that they will not talk abt their whereabouts. I heard the 2nd wife went to surgery. I'm not sure what kind of surgery but some ppl told me that's comestic surgery.

 

[Syd]

any latest pic?

 

[Harry's polo shirt]

that is sad if she had cosmetic surgery. She is very pretty the way she is.

 

[La la]

Yeah, she has a very pretty face. She is a little pudgy so maybe it was plastic surgery, a liposuction or a tummy tuck.

New pictures of the royal family greeting well wishers and diplomats at the royal palace during the festival of Eid-ul-Fitr. Queen Saleha has finally made a public appearance. The Sultan's new wife is also present, along with the Crown Prince and Princess Sarah, her mother, Datin Faezah, Pincess Rashidah's kids.
I believe Princess Rashidah herself wasn't present due to her pregnancy.

Is the lady in green Azrinaz?

[Humera]

yeah thats her. She looks nice. I haven't seen any close-ups of her so far, only profile shots.

 

[La la]

I thought it was Azeemah at first but then I saw the other pictures where she's greeting the people placed between Queen Saleha and CP Sarah and realized only Azrinaz would be given 'precedence' over Sarah. She looks very nice. I really like that dress she's wearing.

 

[Humera]

I know, thats a dead give-away isnt it? The BRF is so particular about due precedence to rank.

The Queen is really a patience lady to have you 2nd person standing next to you.

 

[altagrace]

Now a note on style; I like Azrinaz version of the head scarf: very hip.

 

[jello]

Queen Saleha such a good lady, what a first lady in Brunei Darussalam. As my point of view the Queen can stay beside with the local malaysian girl to shake hand with the people of brunei on Hari Raya day, all because she think about her country and the sultan's situation. The Sultan should know all these, everything she did,is because of her husband the Sultan of Brunei. U always my queen.

More than 32,000 well-wishers visited the Istana Nurul Iman yesterday, the second day of open house for Hari Raya Aidilfitri, to greet His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam, Her Majesty Raja Isteri Pg Anak Hjh Saleha and YTM Azrinaz Mazhar binti Hakim Mazhar.

Looks like the new bride doesnt have a royal title yet.

ANYONE notice that during "salam" (shaking hands) with Azrinaz, the subjects didn't kiss her hand, whereas with Queen that's the protocol.????????
And regarding her dress, the designer charged her ( or rather GOB) above RM20 K (USD4 K) for the workmanship alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FHEEEWWWWWW

 

[Humera]

I didnt see the tv footage so Im not sure if they kissed Azrinaz's hand or not. Maybe its because she doesnt have a royal title?
The articles refer to her as YAM. What does that stand for?

On the Infofoto site there is a pic of subject kissing Azrinaz hand. It is in the album Junjung Ziarah Hari Pertama, dated 11/05/05 by Abdullah_003. Perhaps it was overlooked when viewing the album.

[Humera]

yes I thought I saw someone bending over her hand.
Most of those pictures look the same and since we're supposed to be conserving bandwidth I didnt post all of them.
In the last set of picture Azrinaz looks almost dishevelled, not as "put together" as she was in the previous pictures.

She's since been given the title YTM - Yang Teramat Mulia - a common royal title, but not a very important one.

BOLK: It's true that most people did not kiss her hand and some even walked past without acknowledging her. It reflects the public majority's opinion of her.

thanx Zina. I dont know what to call her, she's not a princess and since I dont speak Malay I find the other bruneian titles confusing. Is YTM similar to the title Prince Sufri's wife has? Faezah is called a "Datin" if I recall correctly and someone said that it roughly translates to "lady",

btw..is it really true about people walking past Azrinaz? would people actually be that rude when they're inside the royal palace?

 

[tlklhm]

Anyone of you have wedding photo of the The Sultan with Queen Saleha or ex-Queen Mariam?

She is a princess literally, since she is now married to the Sultan. Its just that there is stilla procedur to take to legally announce her as a princess.

No i dont think that people would be that rude...

 

[pwincess]

agreed. At least she doesnt look like a christmeas tree. other ladies tend to wear flowery headscarf with lots of designs for clothes as well....

if only she would cover her head like the Queeen....
