Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah ibni Almarhum Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah (Jawi: السلطان عبدﷲ رعاية الدين المصطفى بالله شاه ابن المرحوم سلطان حاج أحمد شاه; listenⓘ; born 30 July 1959) is the Sultan of Pahang.

Abdullah was born during the reign of his grandfather, Sultan Abu Bakar, and became heir apparent when his father, Sultan Ahmad Shah, acceded to the throne of Pahang in 1974. He was created Crown Prince of Pahang on 1 July 1975. He was educated at Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and later pursued a Diploma in International Relations and Diplomacy at Worcester College, Oxford and Queen Elizabeth College in 1980 until 1981. In 1986, he married Tunku Azizah Aminah. They had 10 children, notably Hassanal Ibrahim, Muhammad Iskandar and Puteri Iman Afzan, including one adopted son, Amir Nasser.

Abdullah became Sultan of Pahang upon his father's abdication in January 2019 who later died in May 2019.[3]

On 31 January 2019, Abdullah was sworn in as the 16th King of Malaysia from 2019 to 2024.[4] Abdullah played an unusually prominent role in domestic politics, particularly during the 2020–2022 Malaysian political crisis[5] and the intricate negotiations that followed the 2022 general election, which resulted in a hung parliament. As a result of this, his reign saw the most prime ministers of any monarch in Malaysia.

Early life and education

[edit]

Abdullah, born as Tengku Abdullah ibni Tengku Ahmad Shah on 30 July 1959, at the Istana Mangga Tunggal in Pekan, Pahang. He is the eldest son of Sultan Ahmad Shah of Pahang and Tengku Ampuan Afzan and is the fourth child among eight siblings, with his eldest sibling being Tengku Meriam.[6][7]

Abdullah's early education began in 1965 at Clifford School in Kuala Lipis. He continued his primary education at Sekolah Kebangsaan Ahmad in Pekan from 1966 to 1969, followed by St. Thomas Primary School. For his secondary education, he attended St. Thomas Secondary School from 1970 to 1974, both of which are in Kuantan.

In pursuit of further education, Abdullah attended Aldenham School in Elstree, Hertfordshire, UK, from 1975 to 1977. Subsequently, he enrolled at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in the UK, where he studied from 1978 to 1979. He also pursued higher education at Worcester College, Oxford, and Queen Elizabeth College, United Kingdom from 1980 to 1981, graduating with a Diploma in International Relations and Diplomacy.[6]

Military career

[edit]

Abdullah embarked on his military career at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in 1978, where he initially served as an officer cadet. During his time at Sandhurst, he formed friendships with several individuals, including Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who would later become the President of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Abu Dhabi, as well as Zulkiple Kassim, who was his senior and later became the Chief of Army.[8][9]

In 1979, Abdullah was commissioned as a second lieutenant by Queen Elizabeth II. His service led to his promotion to the rank of captain in 1980, where he served as a cavalry officer in the Royal Armoured Corps.[10]

In 1987, Abdullah achieved the rank of major within the Royal Armoured Corps.[11] Later, he was appointed captain of the Malaysian Royal Cavalry Corps and on 1 May 1999, he was assigned to the 505 Territorial Army Regiment. During the same period, he received a promotion to the rank of lieutenant colonel of the 505 Territorial Army Regiment. On 1 June 2000, he further advanced in rank to colonel of the 505 Territorial Army Regiment.[11]

Abdullah's dedication to his military career saw him rise to the rank of brigadier general of the 505 Territorial Army Regiment on 1 April 2004, marking a significant milestone in his military service.[11]

Heir apparent

[edit]

Abdullah assumed the role of Tengku Mahkota of Pahang (crown prince of Pahang), on 1 July 1975. His formal installation took place on 23 October 1977, at the Istana Abu Bakar in Pekan.[6]

Reign

[edit]

Early reign as Regent

[edit]

Additionally, Abdullah was appointed as the Regent of Pahang on two occasions. The first appointment occurred when his father was elected as the seventh Yang di-Pertuan Agong. During this period, he served as Regent for a duration of five years, starting on 26 April 1979, and concluding on 25 April 1984.

The second time Abdullah assumed the role of regent was in 2016 when his father's health began to deteriorate. He served as regent once again from 28 December 2016, until his ascension to the throne in 2019.[6]

As Sultan of Pahang

[edit]

On 15 January 2019, at the age of 59, Abdullah was officially proclaimed as the sixth sultan of modern Pahang. This proclamation came about due to his father's abdication from the throne, which was prompted by his ill health. The ceremony marking Abdullah's ascension to the throne was held at the Istana Abu Bakar, the official residence of the sultan. His reign was retroactively declared to have commenced on 11 January 2019, the day the Regency Council decided on his succession.[3][12]

Upon becoming the Sultan of Pahang, Abdullah adopted the regnal title "Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah ibni Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Al-Musta'in Billah."[13]

Furthermore, his royal consort, Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah, who held the title of Tengku Puan of Pahang (crown princess), was proclaimed as the Tengku Ampuan (Queen consort) of Pahang on 29 January 2019.[14]

As per his duties as Sultan of Pahang, he serves currently as Chancellor of University of Kuala Lumpur (UniKL), and Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah (UMPSA).

As King of Malaysia

[edit]
Main article: Installation of Yang di-Pertuan Agong XVI

On 24 January 2019, the Conference of Rulers elected Abdullah as the 16th Yang di-Pertuan Agong (King of Malaysia), replacing Sultan Muhammad V of Kelantan, who had abdicated a few weeks earlier.[4] Abdullah was officially sworn in on 31 January 2019, in a public ceremony, taking up residence at the Istana Negara, Jalan Tuanku Abdul Halim.[15] During this time, the Conference of Rulers also elected Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah of Perak as the Deputy Yang di-Pertuan Agong.[4] Abdullah became the second Yang di-Pertuan Agong to reign while his father was still alive and the only one whose father was a former Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

Whilst Abdullah was the Yang di-Pertuan Agong the responsibility of ruling the Pahang was handed to Abdullah's son, Tengku Hassanal Ibrahim Alam Shah, who was proclaimed as the Tengku Mahkota of Pahang and Regent of Pahang on 29 January 2019.[14] At the time of his appointment, Hassanal was still pursuing his studies at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in the United Kingdom. He was assisted in carrying out his duties by Majlis Jumaah Pangkuan Diraja Negeri Pahang (Pahang Council of Regency) led by Abdullah's eldest younger brother, Tengku Abdul Rahman, from 15 February 2019, until Hassanal's graduation on 15 December 2019.[16]

Abdullah's ceremonial installation as Yang di-Pertuan Agong took place at the Throne Hall of the Istana Negara on 30 July 2019, seven months after his assumption of the throne, which coincided with his 60th birthday.[17] This installation was historically significant because both Abdullah and the Raja Permaisuri Agong (Queen of Malaysia), Tunku Azizah, are the children of sultans who had previously been elected as the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

In his role as the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Abdullah held the rank of marshal of the Royal Malaysian Air Force, which was part of his constitutional duties as the Commander-in-Chief of the Malaysian Armed Forces. He also held the ranks of field marshal of the Malaysian Army and Admiral of the Fleet of the Royal Malaysian Navy. Additionally, he served as the colonel-in-chief of the Royal Malaysian Air Force.

Abdullah also held the position of Chancellor of Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) and National Defence University of Malaysia (UPNM) during his term as the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.[18][19]

Abdullah's reign as Yang di-Pertuan Agong coincided with a politically challenging period in Malaysian history. During this time, there were significant political changes and challenges, including the fall of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) administration and the appointment of a new prime minister. Abdullah played a crucial role in ensuring political stability during these times, including appointing Mahathir Mohamad as interim prime minister and later appointing Muhyiddin Yassin as the new prime minister.

On 25 October 2020, Abdullah rejected Muhyiddin's request to declare a state of emergency in response to a spike in COVID-19 cases throughout Malaysia.[20]

However, on 12 January 2021, Abdullah issued a nationwide Proclamation of Emergency until 1 August 2021, to address the ongoing spread of COVID-19 and a political crisis involving Muhyiddin's government. This emergency suspended parliament and elections, allowing the Malaysian government to introduce laws without parliamentary scrutiny.[21][22]

The decision on the government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and the suspension of parliament led to various public reactions, including protests and calls for political change.[23][24][25][26][27]

On 16 August 2021, following a loss of majority support,[28][29] Muhyiddin and his cabinet resigned, and Abdullah appointed Ismail Sabri Yaakob as the 9th Prime Minister of Malaysia.[30][31]

On 10 October 2022, Abdullah approved Ismail Sabri's request to dissolve the Malaysian parliament,[32] leading to Malaysia's 15th general election, which produced a hung parliament.[33][34] Abdullah ultimately named Anwar Ibrahim as the prime minister,[35] marking the fourth prime minister of his reign and making him the Yang di-Pertuan Agong who had the most prime ministers since independence. Sultan Abdullah is also the Yang di-Pertuan Agong who has appointed the most prime ministers since Malaysia's independence, with Anwar being the third consecutive prime minister appointed by Abdullah.

His tenure as Yang di-Pertuan Agong ended on 30 January 2024, with the Conference of Rulers during their 263rd (special) meeting on 27 October 2023, had elected the Sultan of Johor and his brother-in-law, Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar as his successor.[36]
