The fourth child of the Sultan of Johor, Tunku Laksamana of Johor Tunku Abdul Jalil Sultan Ibrahim, 25, passed away due to cancer at the Sultanah Aminah Hospital here at 7.11pm on December 5th, reports Bernama.
Johor Council of Royal Court president, Abdul Rahim Ramli, who announced the news, said the remains of Tunku Jalil would be brought to the Istana Besar in Johor Baru tonight and would be placed at a special room in that palace.
The public have been announced that they can pay their last respect on December 6th at Istana Besar Siggahsana Room.
The fourth of six children of Sultan Ibrahim dan Permaisuri of Johor Raja Zarith Sofiah Sultan Idris will be laid to rest at the Mahmoodiah Royal Mausoleum in Johor Baru after zohor prayers.
Abdul Rahim said the remains would be brought by a coach pulled by the Royal Johor Military Force (Askar Timbalan Setia Johor) for a stretch of three kms through Jalan Istana Besar to the mausoleum, accompanied by Sultan Ibrahim and his other children.
Abdul Rahim said Almarhum Tunku Abdul Jalil would be buried on the right side of his grandfather Almarhum Sultan Iskandar Almarhum Sultan Ismail who passed away on January 22, 2010, at Tunku Abdul Jalil's request.
Relapse early this year
Born on July 5, 1990, he was confirmed to have suffered stage four liver cancer since December last year and had sought treatment for liver complications at a specialist hospital in Guangzhou, China.
However, Tunku Abdul Jalil was reported to have suffered a relapse early this year.
Being a cancer patient himself, he often visited patients at Sultan Ismail Hospital and Sultanah Aminah Hospital in Johor Baharu to mingle and cheer other patients.
Following Tunku Abdul Jalil's illness, his father Sultan Ibrahim set up the Tunku Laksamana Johor Cancer Foundation this year to assist other cancer patients in the country.
Apart from that, Abdul Rahim said a 'tahlil' prayer would be held for three days consecutively starting tomorrow at Sultan Abu Bakar Mosque here.
All flags in the state will be flown half-mast for three days starting on the December 6th. The mourning period will be seven days for the royal family and three days for the people.
According to Abdul Rahim, Almarhum Tunku Abdul Jalil's coffin will be draped with his private flag, a police cap and his sword as he was made a police inspector.
He was also the first member of the Johor royal family to serve in the police force after completing a nine-month police training course with the rank of inspector.
Apart from that, the late prince who was also the chairman of a yacht company, Innovatige Sdn Bhd, which organised the Monsoon Cup, also played an important role in developing the sports.
Through the Malaysian Sailing League and the Youth Sailing programme in2013, the Tunku gave opportunities to thousands of youths who could not afford to experience sailing.
For his contribution to the development of sailing sports, Tunku Abdul Jalil was bestowed the 2014 President Development Award by the International Sailing Federation (ISAF) last year.
To beloved prince, the late Tunku Abdul Jalil, you might be gone from our eyes and your physical was not shown in front of us but your memories will keep remembered by us forever. We loved you so much but the power of God's love is the greatest love ever and it is your time to meet our CREATOR and rest well in the other world.
"No matter how high your royalty is, your personality will make people remember you till the end of the day. And you are one of them, our beloved royal prince, the late Tunku Abdul Jalil Sultan Ibrahim," by CleopatraDiva
