A Walk Down Johor's Memory Lane

All eyes are on Johor this week, as HRH Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar, the ruler of Johor, is set to be installed as Malaysia’s next Yang Di-Pertuan Agong. To commemorate, we speak to author Peggy Loh, who has written extensively about Johor through her "My Johor Stories" series, which include personal accounts of her own family life, but also stories of former and current personalities who have left their own mark in Johor. We take a walk down memory lane with Peggy, exploring Johor's vibrant history and culture, while also reflecting on its royal legacy, in relation to the Sultanate of Johor.
