About the Anniversary of the Installation of the Sultan
The Sultan is the constitutional ruler of the state of Terengganu. The State Constitution proclaims that the Sultan is "the Ruler and fountain head of all authority of government in the State and Territory of Terengganu", the Head of the Religion of Islam in the state and the source of all titles, honours and dignities in the state. He is also vested with the Executive Power of the State.
This is a hereditary role, and the current Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin is the 17th sultan, in a lineage that dates back to 1925.
Mizan became the youngest ruler of a Malaysian federal state when he was appointed as the Sultan of Terengganu in May 1998 following the death of his father, Sultan Mahmud.
He was crowned as Sultan of Terengganu on March 4th 1999.
Mizan served as the 13th Yang di-Pertuan Agong, the constitutional monarch of Malaysia, from 2006 to 2011.
