Games by ZNT aka Zahirah Nur Truth

Rearranging all the pieces

Lining them up in the direction most fitting

I am not sitting

Moving

Sliding

Gliding

Forward

Faster

I am thy self

And time I truly master

reflecting

Knights gallop

Ponds watch

who is better to a queen than a king?

Sultanah Nur Zahirah Brooches

The Sultanah of Terengganu, Sultanah Nur Zahirah owns this Citrine Brooch. It features an oval shaped citrine, surrounded by what I could only assume to be round cut Yellow, Blue and Pink Sapphires, Tsavorites and Diamonds. Her majesty wore this piece on her turban wrap for the in-store promotion of Malaysian craft at Harrods London, England in 2009.

The next brooch is the Pearl and Diamond brooch. Her majesty has worn this on several occasions. It must be because pearls and diamonds go with almost anything. She wore this for the launch of a designer handbag brand called, Nazra Exclusive, in 2016.

The third brooch, is the Suspended bar brooch that Her Majesty wore for Bernard Chandran’s 10th Anniversary Fashion Showcase in 2016.

The Sultanah of Terengganu

Lets begin with the Permaisuri of Terengganu, Sultanah Nur Zahirah. Her Majesty was born Rozita binti Adil Bakeri, a commoner, on the 7th of December 1973 in Alor Star, Kedah, Malaysia. Currently 43 years of age, she is the youngest among the queens of Malaysia.

She married Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin of Terengganu on 28 March 1996 at the age of 22 in Kuala Terengganu. She was then known as Cik Puan Sri Rozita Adil Bakeri.

She was accorded the title Permaisuri Nur Zahirah on 19 July 1998, after Tuanku Mizan was proclaimed the Sultan of Terengganu. Later, her title was changed to Sultanah Nur Zahirah on 5 June 2006 in accordance with the Sultan's wishes.

Being the first Queen in Malaysia to don a hijab full time, Her Majesty hardly wears a tiara unless if it’s for official state functions. The last time Her Majesty wore a tiara regularly, was during her tenure as the Permaisuri Agong of Malaysia (2006-2011). Below is the Gendik Permaisuri of Terengganu tiara she wore quite regularly before her tenure as Permaisuri Agong.

To compensate for the lack of tiaras, she usually wears magnificent brooches and long necklaces, mostly made out of pearls and diamonds.

Nowadays, when Her Majesty appears for functions and events outside of her state of Terengganu, she wears a turban wrap instead of the traditional hijab. I guess Her Majesty prefers this look, so she could wear earrings and shorter necklaces.

Her Majesty often appears alongside the Sultanah of Pahang at various events, especially when their husbands aren’t by their side. They seem very close, I’m assuming it must be due to the fact that both Queens aren’t of royal blood. 

The Noble List Of Current Malaysian Queens

All 9 states in Malaysia with a monarch has a Queen, except for the current Sultan of Kelantan which is also the current Yang Di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia.

I’ll be following up on their Individual biographies in the coming weeks. Stay tuned.
