In the state of Kelantan, all government departments, have been directed flying the flag at half mast for three days in a row, as a sign of mourning over his death. Meanwhile, in Penang, most merchant ships were ordered to fly the flag at half mast on Monday, 5 June 1950. As soon as the plane that carried his coffin arrived at Labuan Airport, it was met with a parade of honour, composed of members of the Police Force to pay their respects to the late Sultan. His coffin was then taken to the jetty to be brought to Brunei by ship.
