To mark the conclusion of the 5-year reign of Tuanku Agong Abdullah of Pahang (Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah) and Permaisuri Agong Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah as the King and Queen of Malaysia, we reflect on some of the most notable moments during their tenure, in no particular order.
1. YDPA Revealed He Had Chosen Not To Receive Salary Throughout Tenure
Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah recently revealed that he chose not to receive a salary throughout his five-year tenure as the Yang di-Pertuan Agong in the country. "I have not accepted a salary until now," he stated in a recent media interview at Istana Negara, where he discussed topics such as the significance of political stability, the monarchy's future, and his strong connection with the people.
