The Yang Di-Pertuan Agong is the head of country of Malaysia (The King). The office was established in 1957 when the Federation of Malaya (now Malaysia) gained independence.
Malaysia is a Constitutional Monarchy with an elected 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"
(His Royal Highness The Supreme Lord of the Federation)
Prior to that, the honorific,
"Ke Bawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia"
(Arms of His Majesty)
was also used.
The consort of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong is called the,
"Raja Permaisuri Agong"
(Queen Lady Consort)
The couple are addressed in English as
"His Majesty" and "Her Majesty".
In Malaysia's constitutional monarchy, the role of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong is largely ceremonial.
The constitution specifies that the executive power of the Federal government is vested in the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and is exercised by him on the advice of the federal Council of Ministers.
The latter is headed by the Prime Minister, appointed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong from among the elected members of Parliament.
