Malaysia’s King Abdicates in an Unprecedented Move
Malaysia’s king, who is known as the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, has abdicated in an unprecedented move, with his successor set to be elected in January. “The royalty is a key issue for Malays, and the protection of this institution by the ruling political power is very important.” said Johan Saravanamuttu, an adjunct senior fellow at RSIS.
