Malaysia Crowns New King

On Wednesday, Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar from the state of Johor was sworn in as Malaysia to become the country's 17th king.

The newly crowned Sultan signed the proclamation of office in a ceremony attended by other royal families, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, and cabinet members.

The heads of Malaysia's nine royal families take turns to the throne, known as the "Yang di-Pertuan Agong" every five years.

Sultan Ibrahim succeeded Al-Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, who will return to his position as the head of Pahang after completing his five-year tenure as king.

Sultan Ibrahim is known for his business interests from real estate to mining, and wide car and motorbike collections.
