Tunku Abdul Rahman (Tunku Mahkota of Johor) - Later Life

Later Life

After the succession crisis, Abdul Rahman reverted to his old post of Tunku Bendahara, a post which he once briefly held from 1959-1961. Abdul Rahman, by now in ailing health, held that post until his death in 1989. In his later years, his health, already plagued by diabetes, worsened which ultimately saw one of his legs being amputated.

After his death, the post of Tunku Bendahara was passed down to Sultan Iskandar's younger son, Tunku Majid.

Famous quotes containing the word life:

    Normally, the sciences distance themselves from life and the return to it via a detour.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    What was any art but an effort to make a sheath, a mould in which to imprison for a moment the shining, elusive element which is life itself—life hurrying past us and running away, too strong to stop, too sweet to lose?
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)
