“PFS has maintained a longstanding relationship with Perlis, stemming from the fact that three generations of the Jamalullail descendents, namely the late Tuanku Syed Putra, Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin, and Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra, are alumni of the esteemed institution, which is among the oldest English-medium schools in Southeast Asia,” read the statement.
