KUALA LUMPUR – Raja Permaisuri Agong Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah today reminded each and every woman to love and value herself to be a great and happy human being.

She said women need to look after their physical and mental health, as well as their families’, because a happy woman will spread happiness to those around her.
