Malaysia’s monarch Sultan Muhammad V resigned, as the 15th Yang di-Pertuan Agong, from the throne before completing their five-year tenure for the 1st time in Malaysia’s history.
Under the Malaysia’s rotational monarchy system, a king is typically elected for five years from each of the nine Malay royal houses.
The selection of the next king can be decided by a vote in the Council of Rulers, made up of all 9 royal households.
