Tomorrow, Sunday Jan 20, 2013 is a really special day for all Kedahans during home as well as abroad. It is a Official Birthday of His Majesty a Yang Di-Pertuan Agong as well as a Sultan of Kedah Darul Aman, Al Sultan Almu'tasimu Billahi Muhibbuddin Tuanku Alhaj Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah ibni Almarhum Sultan Badlishah.
We, His constant subjects, take this opportunity to instruct Duli Tuanku Selamat Ulang Tahun Hari Keputeraan yang ke 85. May Duli Tuanku as well as Your Gracious Consort Tuanku Raja Permaisuri Agong as well as Sultanah Kedah, Tuanku Hajjah Haminah Hamidon, continue to be in good health, complacency as well as prosperity. May Duli Tuanku also Guide a country as well as a leaders with wisdom as well as compassion during these challenging times.
According to Tunku Sofiah Jewa, Royal Chronicler, Tuanku's cousin, as well as author of a fine coffee table book titledThe Return*, which was published in partnership with a National Archives of Malaysia to honour a accession of Duli Tuanku as a 14th Yang Di-Pertuan Agong:
"His Majesty Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah is every inch a Kinga
great Ruler who commands a adore as well as apply oneself of theRakyat.and a King to whom a republic owes its political stability. Many in Kedah would attribute a political fortitu! de in a State to His Majesty's bargain of a responsibilities of Monarchy within a inherent setting, as well as a firm learn of a fundamentals of democratic governance, as voiced in a concept of subdivision of powers as well as Rule of Law(p. 151)

But He is not a rich person either...(p.152)
"In his exchange with His subjects, His Majesty Tuanku displays a great measure of wisdom, land counsel with officials as well as inaugurated representatives in His common calm manner, thereby earning Him a apply oneself as well as indebtedness of all those who have served in Kedah, be they civil servants. members of a judiciary or His subjects during large"(p.154)
As Destiny would have it, Duli Tuanku is a King for a second time, making Him a initial Sultan in a nation's story to earn which singular distinction. Kedahans are unapproachable of Duli Tuanku's Return, one which is full of symbolic significance as well as good tidings for Kedah as well as a country.
According to Tunku Sofiah,"[T]he concept of Return relates to a promise. It is a guarantee of changeIn a own context, a Return of a King promises a lapse to a dream of freedom as well as a lapse to a feeling of well-being as well as prophesy of Merdeka."(p.185).
Allow me to reproduce a poem inThe Return(below) to celebrate His Majesty's 85th Birthday. Semoga Allah lanjutkan Usia Duli Tuanku as well as semoga Negara kita selamat, aman, berjaya, dan maju dibawah naungan Duli Tuanku.

Of old it hath been said
That a King is initial servant,
and initial magistrate
of a State;
and which Majesty
there is none so lofty
nor noble
as which of a moral King
who wields not a sword of power,
but Reigns over a hearts of men,
with a sovereignty of probity as well as a mantle of love.
