His Highness the late Sultan of Johore, G.C.M.G., K.C.S.I., 1895. 'We regret to announce the death, on Wednesday morning, June 5, at the hotel where he was staying, at Kensington, of his Highness the Sultan of Johore, Tunkoo Abubeker, one of the most enlightened and liberal of Asiatic princes, and one of the most friendly to England. His dominions, immediately adjacent to our great commercial city of Singapore, the chief of the Straits Settlements, at the southern extremity of the Malay peninsula, have a population of 300,000. His Highness has long been noted for hospitality to all foreign visitors, and has of late years been much in Europe, sojourning in Germany and Switzerland, as well as in London. He was visited by the Prince of Wales a few days before his death'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
