KL - Royal Palace

Royal? Malaysia? Well, yes, actually.

The Malaysian king isn't a job-for-life, though. There are 13 tribes, each with their own head honcho. Every 5 years one of these guys gets a go - and it's all decided between them. Sensibly, it seems. You don't get any of those 3-year olds, weirdos or, god help us, Edward IIs that Europe has thrown up over the centuries.

Anyhoo, when you have a king, he's got to live somewhere, and here it is...

Actually, that's not it at all - that's the railway station. Good, eh.

Kim shows her norks to a horse.

A man with a gun. Wearing a skirt.

This is where the king lives and he has a nice lawn. Wonder if his wife makes him mow it?

And there's the king's coat of arms.
