Conference of Rulers

The Conference of Rulers is a unique institution in Malaysia that involves the country's nine Malay state rulers (Sultans). They meet regularly to discuss matters of national importance, including constitutional changes, the appointment of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (King), and other significant issues affecting the Malay states and the nation. This conference symbolizes the traditional monarchy's role in Malaysia's democratic framework, balancing modern governance with cultural heritage. It reflects Malaysia's commitment to constitutional monarchy and serves as a platform for the rulers to collaborate on common interests and issues facing the country.
