The late Johor Prince, Tunku Abdul Jalil Sultan Ibrahim was known to be an animal lover, and a picture of his name tag from his stint as a volunteer at the Singapore Zoo has been widely shared since his death on Saturday, Dec 5. -
The photo shows the name tag identifying him simply as "Jalil Ibrahim", with no indication that he was the son of the Sultan of Johor. -
The fourth child of Johor Sultan, Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar, Tunku Jalil died from liver cancer on Saturday. He was 25. He had been diagnosed with Stage Four liver cancer, and was laid to rest at the Mahmoodiah Royal Mausoleum after a semi-state funeral on Sunday. He was a noted animal lover. Aside from his year-long stint with the Singapore Zoo, he also studied zoology at a university in the United Kingdom and worked at the London Zoo for two years. In Malaysian daily New Straits Times, journalist Zaharah Othman wrote of a meeting with the Prince while he was in London, and how they had struck up a conversation over a mutual love for cats. "He introduced himself as Jalil. Just Jalil," she wrote. It was only later that she was informed that he was, in fact, a Prince. In another post on Facebook, Johor Bahru Arts Festival founder Yap Siong Cheng wrote that he had spent an afternoon discussing animal conversation and environmental issues with the Prince. "He spoke of his love for animals. He was also into environmental causes and we discussed ways in which we could incorporate environmental issues for our future festivals. We will never forget that afternoon. We grieve because he is a good, wonderful and beautiful person," he wrote. Many leaders have also posted their tributes to the popular Prince on social media. Johor Crown Prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim wrote on Facebook that his brother possessed a quality that others did not have: "A caring and humble soul." "We all love you and miss you. You were the one who made us smile. You are my strength and my inspiration," he wrote in Malay. Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said that he and his wife, Ho Ching, were saddened by Tunku Jalil's passing. "Tunku Jalil was loved for his compassion, his charitable work and his passion for the environment and animals. I remember Tunku Jalil telling us about his volunteer work at the Singapore Zoo and how he enjoyed his walks in our Singapore Botanic Gardens," PM Lee wrote on Facebook. "Our deepest condolences to Tunku Jalil's family. Our thoughts are with them and the people of Johor during this time of grief," he added.
