Date: 30.3.1948
Death of the Sultan of Perak occured at 12 noon yesterday. The office is closed today for nourning His Highness's death. The Malay inhabitants wear white ribbons around their songkoks and hats, and hoist the national flag at half mast. Some of them are going to Kuala_Kangsar to pay their last hormage to the late Sultan. Haji Meor Ariff told me he is one of those going to Kuala Kangsar at 1.30pm, and asked if I would be at home, and in case there is any important message he would be glad if I would receive it for him.
