Sultan of Pahang makes history


KUALA LUMPUR: A little more than two weeks after being proclaimed as the Sultan of Pahang on Jan 15, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’aya­tuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah made history by becoming the fastest to ascend the federal throne as Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

The previous record was when the Raja of Perlis Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Putra Jamalullail became the 12th Yang di-Pertuan Agong in December 2001 after he began his reign as Raja of Perlis in April 2000.
