Celebrate with joy and pride as Malaysia marks the grand occasion of The Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s Birthday on June 3! This day serves as a symbol of unity for the people of Malaysia as they pay homage to their King, instilling a spirit of loyalty and respect for the constitutional monarchy. The title Yang di-Pertuan Agong, meaning "He who is made Lord", was first established in 1957 when Malaysia gained independence and deviated from the regular monarchical system, choosing instead a King from among the Conference of Rulers. The King’s birthday is not just a gala affair marked by royal celebrations, but it is also a time when citizens are awarded honours for their service to the nation. So, on this day, let's join hands and relish the shared history, values, and aspirations that buoy the Malaysian spirit!
