My deepest condolence to the Royal family as well as the people of Perak for the passing of their prince, YM Dato' Seri Raja Ashman Shah Ibni Sultan Azlan Shah. Raja Ashman is the second son of the sultan of Perak, YTM Sultan Azlan Shah.
The Star reported that Raja Ashman passed away at 1:30am today after having an asthma attack at his home in Bukit Damansara. He was 54. His body was then brought to Istana Iskandariah, Kuala Kangsar to be buried at the Royal Mausoleum.
Raja Ashman was appointed 'Raja Kechil Sulong' on 16 Mar 2010 and was forth-in-line to the throne of Perak. He leaves behind wife YM Datin Seri Noraini Jane Kamarul Ariffin, 53, son Raja Ahmad Nazim Shah, 18, and daughters Raja Emina Aliyyah, 20, and Raja Bainunisa Safia, 17.
