She places great importance on upholding cultural
heritage, often wearing a kebaya even at international
events. For her, showcasing local heritage is crucial,
demonstrating the beauty and significance of tradition
in a contemporary world. This blend of modernity and
tradition reflects her commitment to both her cultural
roots and her progressive vision for the future.

SPREADING POSITIVE VIBES
Tengku Zatashah has found a meaningful way to
connect with her followers through Instagram, sharing
her initiatives and inspiring others to take action. Unlike
many, she has chosen not to be active on X, focusing

For Tengku Zatashah, social media is about more
than just showcasing her life—it's about genuine
communication. She enjoys engaging with her
followers, fostering a sense of community. The real
reward comes from hearing how her actions have
inspired others. Messages like “I started cutting down
single-use plastic because of you,” “I bring a tiffin and
tumbler because you did,” “I joined the soup kitchen
because of you,” or “I started following the C-drama
recommendations that you shared” bring her immense
joy and fulfillment.
LOOKING AHEAD
Tengku Zatashah aspires to continue her philanthropic
work and make a difference in the lives of others.
Whether through her #ZeroFoodWastage and

A-Wish Malaysia, or her advocacy for sustainable
development, she remains committed to spreading
love and positivity.
Her life is a testament to the power of authenticity,
dedication, and compassion. By blending her royal
heritage with a profound sense of social responsibility,
Tengku Zatashah inspires others to make a difference
and live their lives with purpose.
