Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In full, Duli Yang Maha Mulia Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin ibni Almarhum Tuanku Syed Putra Jamalullail (born 1943) is the current (7th) Raja of Perlis and the former (12th) Yang di-Pertuan Agong (King) of Malaysia.
He studied for 4 years at Wellingborough School in Northamptonshire, England
His reign as Yang di-Pertuan Agong started on December 13, 2001. This was earlier than expected because the Sultan of Selangor and the previous (11th) Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Almarhum Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Al-Haj ibni Almarhum Sultan Sir Hisamuddin Alam Shah Al-Haj, died on November 21, 2001 while his term should have ended in 2004. Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin's term ended on December 12, 2006.
He became Raja of Perlis on April 17, 2000, the day after his father, Tuanku Syed Putra ibni Almarhum Syed Hassan Jamalullail, who had been Raja since 1945, and at that time the world's longest reigning monarch, died. He is married to the Queen, Raja Permaisuri Agong Tengku Fauziah binti Almarhum Tengku Abdul Rashid, daughter of Tengku Abdul Rashid ibni Almarhum Sultan Sulaiman Badrul Alam Shah of Terengganu, by his wife Tengku Kembang Puteri binti Almarhum Sultan Ibrahim Petra of Kelantan.
He studied at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and is a fan of Tottenham Hotspur football club.
