Tomorrow, Sunday Jan 20, 2013 is a very special day for all Kedahans during home as good as abroad. It is a Official Birthday of His Majesty a Yang Di-Pertuan Agong as good 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 loyal subjects, take this event to wish Duli Tuanku Selamat Ulang Tahun Hari Keputeraan yang ke 85. May Duli Tuanku as good as Your Gracious Consort Tuanku Raja Permaisuri Agong as good as Sultanah Kedah, Tuanku Hajjah Haminah Hamidon, continue to be in good health, happiness as good as prosperity. May Duli Tuanku additionally Guide a country as good as a leaders with wisdom as good as care during these severe times.
According to Tunku Sofiah Jewa, Royal Chronicler, Tuanku's cousin, as good as author of a fine coffee table book patrician The Return*, which was published in partnership with a National Archives of Malaysia to commemorate a accession of Duli Tuanku as a 14th Yang Di-Pertuan Agong:
"His Majesty Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah is each inch a Kinga

As Destiny would have it, Duli Tuanku is a King for a second time, making Him a first Sultan in a nation's history to earn which singular distinction. Kedahans are unapproachable of Duli Tuanku's Return, a single which is full of mystic stress as good as good knowledge for Kedah as good as a country.
According to Tunku Sofiah, "[T]he judgment 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 good as a lapse to a euphoria as good as vision of Merdeka." (p.185).
Allow me to reproduce a poem in The Return by my grand niece Puteri Arina Merican (below) to applaud His Majesty's 85th Birthday. If you watch a youtube upon a book launch ceremony during Istana Negara, Puteri Arina is a young wom! an who r eview a poem before Duli Tuanku as good as alternative dignitaries. Semoga Allah lanjutkan Usia Duli Tuanku as good as semoga Negara kita selamat, aman, berjaya, dan maju dibawah naungan Duli Tuanku.
The Return
Lo as good as Behold,
The King has Returned
to a Throne of Glory
to be Crowned a second time
during four score as good as five,
heralding a brand brand new era
of hope as good as promise
opposite a harm of age
as good as a tyranny of Time.
Of aged it hath been said
That a King is first servant,
as good as first magistrate
of a State;
as good as which Majesty
there is none so lofty
nor noble
as which of a righteous King
who wields not a sword of power,
though Reigns over a hearts of men,
with a sovereignty of probity as good as a mantle of love.
The Return
of a Ruler
represents A Return
of a Rights to a Rakyat
for whom a Ruler represents
all which is Noble, Fair, Just as good as Right.
Returned He has,
As symbol
of a brand brand new Cycle
in a hold up of a Nation.
The millennial Return this may not be,
though a Return of Springtime this must be;
a fulfillment, a culmination
of dreams as good as vision.
A Return it is
to a euphoria as good as ideals of Merdeka,
A Return it is
to a Dream of Freedom, and
A Return it is
to a Golden Age of Ancient Glory.
So Rejoice, Rejoice
O Ye People of a Land, Rejoice
For a King has returned,
Look within!
For He is Enthroned
in a Hearts of Men.
