A unique monarchy system

MALAYSIA has one of the most unique monarchy systems in the world, in which its King is elected to serve the country on a rotational basis.

The nine members of the Conference of Rulers elect the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, or Supreme Ruler, who will serve for five years. The nine are the hereditary Malay Rulers from the states of Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Pahang, Negri Sembilan, Perlis, Perak, Selangor and Terengganu.
