KUALA LUMPUR: The installation of the 17th Yang di-Pertuan Agong on July 20 will certainly be a very special moment for His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, as he will be going through a similar process that his father, the late Sultan Iskandar Sultan Ismail, went through when he ascended the federal throne as the eighth Yang di-Pertuan Agong 40 years ago.

Grand Chamberlain of Istana Negara Datuk Azuan Effendy Zairakithnaini said that the ceremony, which will be steeped in tradition, will evoke memories of Sultan Iskandar’s installation as Sultan Ibrahim will sit on the same throne used by his father.
