In a statement released on May 16th, the Prime Minister’s Department announced that the coronation of the 17th King of Malaysia, His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, will take place on July 20th at the Istana Negara.
“As we know, His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim took and signed the oath of office as the 17th King of Malaysia on January 31, 2024,” the statement said.
“Therefore, with His Majesty’s consent, the government will organize several events in conjunction with the coronation.”
