The Conference of Rulers are convening a special meeting today (October 27) at the Istana Negara to elect the 17th Yang di-Pertuan Agong. Nine Malay Rulers will be present to cast their votes to elect a new Yang di-Pertuan Agong and a new deputy Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
As it was when Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was appointed as the 10th prime minister of Malaysia, the gathering will surely offer a brief view of the rulers’ vehicles of choice as they arrive at the palace.
