Ruthresh Rao Subramanyan, Assistant Medical Director of the National Cancer Society Malaysia, and Founder and Director of the Dhantri Group, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“It was a profound honour to welcome Her Royal Highness Raja Permaisuri Perak, Tuanku Zara Salim, to Relay For Life Perak 2025, a signature community event dedicated to celebrating cancer survivors, remembering loved ones, and standing united in the fight against cancer.
I had the privilege of serving as the Head of Protocol for this esteemed occasion, overseeing the official proceedings in full accordance with royal protocol, and personally briefing Tuanku’s team on the objectives, key highlights, and community impact of Relay For Life.
One of the most impactful elements in today’s cancer landscape is the visible and unwavering support of our Royal Patron of the National Cancer Society Malaysia (NCSM). Tuanku’s presence on the ground, standing with survivors, caregivers, and volunteers, sends a powerful message of hope and resilience. Her Royal Highness’s advocacy strengthens the voices of cancer survivors and inspires them to fight back with courage, dignity, and determination.
Tuanku’s gracious engagement with the community reaffirmed the importance of compassion, leadership, and collective action in advancing cancer awareness, prevention, and care. Relay For Life Perak 2025 stands as a testament to what can be achieved when royal leadership and community spirit come together for a cause that truly matters.”
