Malaysia's Yang di-Pertuan Agong (YDPA) and the royal family has embarked on a remarkable journey known as "Kembara Kenali Borneo." This official road trip is taking them through several states in Sabah and Sarawak, forging unforgettable bonds with the local communities along the way.
The royal visit, which aims to strengthen ties between the monarchy and the people of Borneo, has been filled with memorable moments that have left a lasting impact. However, one particular instance has captured the hearts of Malaysians nationwide.
During their journey, Queen (Raja Permaisuri) attended to a heartfelt plea from a local regarding the dire state of the roads in the area. With genuine concern, she personally took notes, repeating, "Bad roads, yes? Okay okay," as she meticulously documented the concerns of the local residents.
This simple yet profoundly empathetic gesture resonated deeply with Malaysians, seeing the royal family's dedication to understanding and addressing the challenges faced by the locals.
The Kembara Kenali Borneo road trip has not only provided the royal family with a unique opportunity to explore the rich cultural and natural treasures of Borneo but also allowed them to engage with the local communities on a personal level.
