Malaysia installs Sultan Ibrahim of Johor state as new king

Malaysia’s Sultan Ibrahim from the southern state of Johor was sworn in as the country’s new king on Wednesday, taking the oath of office in a ceremony at the national palace in Kuala Lumpur.

Under a unique system of monarchy, the heads of Malaysia’s nine royal families take turns to be the King, known as the “Yang di-Pertuan Agong” every five years.

Sultan Ibrahim, 65, succeeds Al-Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, who is returning to lead his home state of Pahang after completing his five-year tenure as king.
