Sultan Muhamad V

Sultan Muhamad V is the the 15th and the current Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia and the Sultan of Kelantan. He was born on 6th October and 1969 which mean is he currently 48 years old. He was born at Kota Bharu, Kelantan.

Born Tengku Muhammad Faris Petra ibni Sultan Ismail Petra in Kota Bharu he was made Crown Prince (Tengku Mahkota) in October 1985. He attended St Cross, Oxford and the Oxford Centre for Islamic Study for diplomatic studies, graduating in 1991.

In May 2009, his father, Sultan Ismail Petra, suffered a major stroke. Sultan Ismail Petra was admitted to Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore and Faris was appointed Regent on 25 May in the Sultan's absence. On 16 September 2009, Faris dismissed his younger brother, the Tengku Temenggong of Kelantan, Tengku Muhammad Fakhry Petra, from the Succession Council, which has the power to determine succession to the throne should the Sultan be permanently incapacitated.

Fakhry filed an application at the High Court challenging his dismissal in December, and issued a letter to the state secretary purportedly from the Sultan reversing all actions and decisions made by the Regent, Faris. In January 2010, the High Court rejected Fakhry's application. 

In another twist, Sultan Ismail Petra's private secretary "declared" Succession Council chairman Tengku Abdul Aziz Tengku Mohd Hamzah as Regent. The appointment was challenged by Faris in court.
