His Royal Highness said this when National Unity Minister Datuk Aaron Ago Dagang paid a courtesy call on him at Istana Arau yesterday.
Also present was Raja Muda of Perlis Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail.
National Unity Ministry secretary-general Datuk Indera Noridah Abdul Rahim and Department of Museums Malaysia director-general Datuk Kamarul Bahrin A. Kassim were also present. - BERNAMA
