Sounds like the sort of thing people have been discussing here, except for thr reality part.
Malaysia's king Muhammad V of Kelantan abdicates the throne
Quote:
Malaysia has a unique monarchy system where a king – the Agong – rules for just five years. The nine hereditary sultans of the country’s royal Malay houses elect this Agong among themselves usually on a rotational basis.
But Sultan Muhammad’s resignation comes just two years after he came to the throne in December 2016, and three years before his reign was due to conclude.
No previous monarch has ever left the throne mid-term.
It is unclear who will succeed him but during his absence in November and December, Perak’s Sultan Nazrin Shah was named as the acting king.
