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:

    To you, God the Singer, our voices we raise,
    to you Song Incarnate, we give all our praise,
    to you, Holy Spirit, our life and our breath,
    be glory for ever, through life and through death.
    Peter Davison (20th century)

    There was a heavy power in her eyes which laid hold of his whole being, as if he had drunk some powerful drug. He had been feeling weak and done before. Now the life came back into him, he felt delivered from his own fretted, daily self.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
