Malaysian Monarhy - (Maklumat lanjut di http://www.malaysianmonarchy.org.my/)
he Yang di-Pertuan Agong is the highest ranking office created by the constitution of the federation of Malaysia. The office was first established in 1957. In accordance with the constitution the holder of this office is "the Supreme Head of the Federation" and as such he is Malaysia's Head of State.
When translated from Malay into literal English the words mean "He who is made Lord". However, as this is a somewhat awkward statement when literally translated into English, alternatives are frequently used. Some of these are "Supreme Ruler", "Paramount Ruler" or "Supreme Head of State".
While all of these translations can be considered reasonably correct the office is best described in English as "King" since from a Western political science perspective Malaysia is a constitutional monarchy with a monarch as head of state. The Yang di-Pertuan Agong is one of the few elected monarchs in the world.
Since 1993, the full title in Malay has been, Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong. Prior to that the honorific Ke Bawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia was also used. The consort of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong is called the Raja Permaisuri Agong. They are referred to in English as "His Majesty" and "Her Majesty".
The official residence of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong is Istana Negara (the 'National Palace') located in Jalan Syed Putra in the federal capital Kuala Lumpur. There are also other residences, such as Istana Melawati in the federal administrative capital Putrajaya which is the royal retreat or 'istana hinggap' for Yang di-Pertuan Agong and his family, as well as being the venue of meetings of the Conference of Rulers (Malay: Majlis Raja-raja), which elects the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
The role of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong is largely ceremonial in Malaysia's constitutional monarchy. The constitution specifies that the executive power of the Federal government is vested in the King and is exercised by him on the advice of the federal Council of Ministers (which is headed by the Prime Minister, who is appointed by the King from among the elected members of Parliament.
The 13th and current Yang di-Pertuan Agong is Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin, the Sultan of Terengganu. His reign began on 13 December 2006 after his election by the Conference of Rulers. He was formally enthroned on April 26, 2007
