His post comes amidst a special meeting of the Malay Rulers at Istana Negara, where Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah is discussing with the Conference of Rulers on proposals submitted by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin to the King on Friday, 24 October.
