1. "When Abdul Hamid of Kedah visited London in 1911 to attend the Coronation, he brought no Malay costume with him. Buckingham Palace, however, indicated that if he was to ride in the procession he must wear his national dress. He then arranged with a London tailor to make what was required, including a folded head-cloth..." J.M. Gullick, op cit, p 58. |
