Queen deactivates Twitter; #AmpunTuanku trends as M’sians call for her return
Despite the recent racial, religious and political tension that has been circulating the Malaysian online sphere recently, the Agong’s wife, Raja Permaisuri Agong Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah, has been a constant source of joy and laughter to her Twitter followers through funny and cute posts on her @cheminahsayang account.
Unfortunately, the Raja Permaisuri Agong appears to have deactivated her account, yesterday (Sept 11).
Since then, Malaysians loyal to Tunku Azizah have launched a campaign to call the Permaisuri Agong back to Twitter.
As soon as netizens caught wind of her leaving the social media site, they quickly began sharing an #AmpunTuanku hashtag in a bid to convince Tunku Azizah to change her mind.
I’m coming from a state where we don’t have royals, but having them as our King & Queen is a true blessing. They represent the unity of this country, a symbol to unite us. Ampun Tuanku, I’m sorry you have to go through this #AmpunTuanku

“Where is mother?”
I too, found it odd at first, that our Queen would post so much and so regularly to Twitter. But I felt that she was just going with the times. Our lives are so public these days. So, why should royals be immune.
I hope that she decides to resume her postings.#AmpunTuanku

“Y’alls should know the proper etiquette in using social media”
The hashtag trended as #1 in Malaysia for most of today and has remained as one of the top 3 trends. Besides that, “Permaisuri Agong†has also been in the top 3 on the same list throughout today.
The deactivation of her account is believed to be a result of several negative tweets about the Raja Permaisuri Agong that were posted recently.
Do you think Tunku Azizah will eventually return to Twitter?
