Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah

Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah
▪ 2002
Tuanku Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah ibni al-Marhum Sultan Hisamuddin Alam Shah 
      Malaysian monarch (b. March 8, 1926, Klang, Malaya—d. Nov. 21, 2001, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia), was the ceremonial head of state, or yang di-pertuan agong (paramount ruler), of Malaysia from April 26, 1999. Salahuddin was educated in Malaya and at the University of London. In 1960 he succeeded his father as sultan of Selangor, and in 1999 he assumed the throne as independent Malaysia's 11th king (agong), in a constitutional monarchy that rotated among the sultans of the country's nine constituent states. Although he occasionally clashed with the prime minister, Salahuddin was particularly popular among the common people. In 1974 he declared that a great mosque should be built in the capital, Kuala Lumpur, which was located under his jurisdiction in Selangor; some 14 years later Southeast Asia's largest mosque was completed and named after Salahuddin.
