: Obviously the writer of the article himself
: was confused, because she wasnt a Raja Puan
: Muda. That title belongs to a wife of the
: Raja Muda.
:
: Indeed, the Perak family is fiendishly
: complicated though now a lot simpler than it
: used to be.
:
: Until Sultan Yusuf, there used to be many
: more of these Royal titles. He took out a
: chunk from the middle rank. Until then, the
: appointments were made in a very complicated
: way. Put simply, appointements went to two
: alternative branches of the family. The
: complications involved in arranging things
: so that both branches had a shot at the
: sultanate was mind boggling.

: I've always found the Perak royal family
: very
: confusing, they have an intricate succession
: and quite many titles.
:
: Raja Nor Kamar binti Raja Salim was married
: to a former Raja Di-Hilir of Perak. This
: title indicates he was on his death the
: second heir to the throne. Succession in
: Perak is by appointment inside the reigning
: family.
:
: Her husband, whose name was (Raja) Ahmad
: Hisham (1906-1997), was the eldest son of
: Raja Abdul-Malik, the fourth son of Sultan
: Abdullah Mohammed Shah II who reigned
: 1874-1877 (when he was deposed).
