Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah is the great-grandson of Kelantan’s Sultan Muhammad III and the granduncle of the state’s current ruler, Sultan Muhammad V.
He is one of the few members of Malaysian royalty to have entered the political arena with (Umno and S46) and he now says he is too old to continue with politics.
“I’m a bit old now. Actually, not ‘a bit’. I am old,” said the Kelantan prince and Gua Musang MP with a chuckle. “I’ve said this many times. In the last two elections (GE13 and GE14) I had also said, ‘Count me out,’ but I think this time it’s for real. It depends on the party leadership,” he told FMT.
