KUALA LUMPUR - Splashed across the front pages of Malaysia's newspapers on Monday (Jan 7) morning was the King's resignation, a first in the nation's history.
From news of the public's reaction to regulations in selecting his successor, Malaysians have been fascinated by the royal's sudden move months after his purported wedding to a Russian beauty queen, Ms Oksana Voevodina, 25.
A commentary by the New Straits Times praised the speed of the royal palace in putting to rest mounting speculation about the King's possible resignation.
Despite the public's current bewilderment, the daily wrote that this shall pass as the country moves on. It emphasised that Sultan Muhammad V "is stepping down, not abdicating as some have put it".
Across the dailies of different languages, the headlines were the same: Sultan Muhammad V had stepped down.
Bernama's article titled "Sultan Muhammad V, a people's King" was picked up by local media outlets. The piece painted the ruler as having a sense of humour and having worked hard to be closer to the people.
His two-year reign had been made most memorable by his opening line at the first post-election Parliament sitting last July, when he made a jibe about an earlier walkout by opposition MPs, quipping: "Please sit down and don't run away."
Malay daily Sinar Harian published a commentary saying that he would be sorely missed for his unforgettable remark that drew laughter from both parliamentarians and the people. That statement went viral as memes were made, T-shirts bearing the original phrase in Malay - "Sila duduk dan jangan lari" - became trendy and even a TV talkshow named after line was launched.
Despite the king's popularity with the people, MalaysiaKini reported that the royal had never intended to be the nation's ruler, quoting Kelantan's chief minister Ahmad Yakob.
Kelantan's Sultan Muhammad V's abdication means that, aside from the passing of previous Agongs, this is the first time the Conference must hold an unscheduled election within four weeks.
"Since the beginning, Tuanku was not really interested in becoming the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, that was the information (I got) at the time," Datuk Ahmad told the news portal. Sultan Muhammad V is from the state of Kelantan.
Meanwhile, Umno's mouthpiece Utusan Malaysia published an article on the next possible King, stating that it may not necessarily fall upon the current deputy King or follow the rotational system. Citing a constitutional expert, the daily reported that the next King is dependent on the vote by the Council of Rulers.
Ultimately, it appears that the resignation came about as Malay royals sought to protect their own institution, with The Malaysian Insight publishing a commentary on Sunday night.
"Courtiers from among the nine palaces in Malaysia told The Malaysian Insight that the rulers made this unprecedented move to protect the royal institution - already reeling from rising public questioning about their role during the May 9 general election that finally saw Barisan Nasional (BN) lose its grip on power since Merdeka when the pact was known as the Alliance," the news portal wrote.
"The courtiers said in the meetings among the rulers, it was not unanimous but clear that the majority of rulers felt that given all that has happened in last few months, the king had to step down."
The tipping point was Sultan Muhammad V's questionable choice in marrying the Russian, whose past modelling career had raised more than several eyebrows, especially in Muslim conservative Malaysia and more so in Kelantan, where Parti Islam SeMalaysia runs the state government.
On Twitter, while many expressed surprise at the King's resignation, there has been overwhelming support for Perak's Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah, the deputy and acting king, to be the next King. However, based on the rotational system, Pahang state's monarch Sultan Ahmad Shah is next in queue. |

Sultan Muhammad V's eventful reign as Malaysia's King
PUBLISHEDJAN 7, 2019, 12:09 AM SGT
Shannon Teoh Malaysia Bureau Chief
KUALA LUMPUR - Although Sultan Muhammad V made it through just two years of a five year-term as Malaysia's King, the 49-year-old's tenure was one of the most eventful - not only did he preside over the country's first ever transition of power from the long-ruling Barisan Nasional, he also became the first King to abdicate from the federation's throne.
Born Tengku Muhammad Faris Petra ibni Tengku Ismail Petra in 1969, he was made Crown Prince of the state of Kelantan at the tender age of 10, and succeeded his father in 2010, when the latter was deemed incapacitated by illness after suffering a stroke in May the previous year.
Just four months later in September, the Oxford graduate dismissed his younger brother Tengku Muhammad Fakhry Petra from Kelantan's Succession Council, which is tasked with deciding on whether a new Sultan should be installed - all while his father was warded in Singapore's Mount Elizabeth Hospital.
Despite continuing intrigue within the royal court of the northeastern state, Sultan Muhammad V joined the Conference of Rulers in Oct 2010, signifying that his fellow rulers recognised him as Kelantan's head of state.
Prior to being elected Agong in 2016, he served as Malaysia's deputy Supreme Ruler for five years.
But he ascended the throne as the first Agong not to have an official Queen, as he had divorced his first wife Kangsadal Pipitpakdee, a Southern Thai royal, in 2008.
In November 2018, he took a two-month leave from duty "following treatment" but reports of a marriage later that month to Miss Moscow 2015 Oksana Voevodina, 25, began to spread across social media in Malaysia, although there was no official statement on the matter.
Rumours began to swirl that the other rulers were not agreeable to her coronation as Queen. But this was only the latest in a string of disagreements with Malaysia's elite since the historic change of government on May 9.
Despite victors Pakatan Harapan (PH) having publicly agreed to Tun Mahathir Mohamad as its choice for Prime Minister, Sultan Muhammad chose to give an audience first to Parti Keadilan Rakyat president Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.
It was only after several press conferences reiterating PH's wish that Dr Mahathir return as premier having first served as head of government from 1981 to 2003, that the Kelantan ruler swore in the 92-year-old late on May 10.
In June, the government also faced a two-week delay in swearing in Attorney-General Tommy Thomas, as the candidate was not a Malay-Muslim. It was only after a late night audience with Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim - who is supposed to succeed Dr Mahathir according to a deal struck among PH leaders - that Sultan Muhammad acceded to the choice.
Dr Mahathir later claimed that the other state rulers had expressed to him that they disagreed with the delays in his installation as premier and in the swearing-in of Mr Thomas as the government's top lawyer.
Sultan Muhammad now returns to Kelantan to continue reigning over the state. He has, as yet, no heir. |
