Youngest of Nine Rulers in Country

In Malaysia, we practise a system of government based on constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy at each state and also federal levels. At the federal level, the head of the state is the King (Yang Di-Pertuan Agong) and the head of government is the Prime Minister. Since 1957, the King has been elected from among his brother rulers in a 5-years reign and of course, the Prime Minister was elected from the General Election. The five-year rotational constitutional monarchy practised in Malaysia is one of its kind in the world.
Ke Bawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Al Wathiqu Billah, Al-Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Ibni Almarhum Al-Sultan Mahmud Al-Muktafi Billah Shah Al-Haj (the 17th sultan of the state of Terengganu) was crowned Malaysia's 13th king on 13th December 2006 in a traditional ceremony filled with pomp and pageantry.

His son, Tengku Muhammad Ismail (at the age of eight) was made the Regent of Terengganu on 12 November 2006. Due to his age, a three-member Regency Advisory Council was set-up to discharge the duties on behalf of the Regent.

At the age of 44, Sultan Mizan was among the youngest princes to be made a Ruler. The Queen, Ke Bawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Sultanah Nur Zahirah was born on Dec 7, 1973 (exactly 1-year older than me) is also known as The Queen of Hearts..

Well.. as conclusion...I am proud to be a Malaysian and pray that all Malaysians will live under prosperity and harmony under His Majesty's reign.

DAULAT TUANKU.
