Najib Abdul Razak said he was forced to skip Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah's coronation as the Yang di-Pertuan Agong at Istana Negara in Kuala Lumpur yesterday because he could not comply with an eleventh-hour instruction.<br /><br />"It's not about confusion. I received a call at 6.30am informing me that the seating arrangements had changed.<br /><br />"I was supposed to be on the 10th seat as a former prime minister according to the ceremonial protocol, but (my seat) was changed at the last minute to the seats for Orang Besar Pahang.<br /><br />"The ceremonial robes for Orang Besar Pahang and former prime minister are different... At the time, I did not have time to collect my clothes from Pekan," he added in a Facebook post this morning.
