Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar was officially crowned as Malaysia's 17th king in a grand coronation ceremony, six months after being sworn in for a five-year term under the nation's unique rotating monarchy system. The billionaire monarch's installation took place at the National Palace in Kuala Lumpur, marking a significant event that was last celebrated four decades ago. Malaysia, a constitutional monarchy, rotates its throne among the rulers of nine states, all of whom come from centuries-old Islamic royalty. The coronation was attended by over 700 distinguished guests, including international royalty such as the Sultan of Brunei and the King of Bahrain. Sultan Ibrahim, aged 65, has pledged to govern fairly during his tenure, emphasizing the importance of unity and tradition in the country.
