via New Straits Times, 13 April 2022: A bizarre story of a suit of armour that is supposed to belong to the Sultan of Brunei, and a woman’s attempt to return it.

In 2004, a set of armour mysteriously arrived at the home of Raja Aini Rahman. The 66-year-old retiree refused to go into detail about how the armour came into her possesion, but said she needed to keep the artefact safe and return it to its owner.

The armour is believed to belong to the 16th sultan of Brunei, Sultan Husin Kamaluddin Malik Al-Dzahir, who reigned in the 18th century twice from 1710 until 1730 and again from 1737 to 1740.
