Meet Malaysia’s king

Behind Malaysia’s shiny pillars of progress, stands her staunchest symbol of tradition; even as one of Asia’s fastest developing nations, it is home to the world’s highest concentration of constitutional monarchs. Though many nations maintain monarchies, never before has a ruler come to the same throne twice. And nowhere else can this happen but Malaysia.


On Revealed: Malaysia’s Majesty—Twice a King, get unparalleled access into the installation of DYMM Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah from the state of Kedah as Malaysia’s 14th King; a profound passage in the royal history of the Malay Peninsula, where Sultan Abdul Halim makes history as the first person to assume this throne for the second time, 41 years after he first became Yang Di-Pertuan Agong, the paramount ruler.

Revealed premieres on Tuesday, January 15 at 9 p.m., with encores on Wednesday, January 16 at 8 a.m. and 2 p.m.
