Our esteemed royal highness, Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Syed Putra Jamalullail, celebrated his "60th birthday yesterday":http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2003/6/8/nation/trooping&sec=nation.
Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Syed Putra Jamalullail
This particular King has been among "the quietest in recent memory":http://www.teennet.com.my/fakta2.html. The last one married "a young babe":http://agong.mmu.edu.my/agong/permaisuri.html and narry a day went by when the tabloids didn't write about about either of them, or speculated about the sexual lives.
A quiet king is an interesting change of pace. Really, kings only need to do a few things well: act royal, be royal, make a few "mindblowing comments":http://www.dailyexpress.com.my/news.cfm?NewsID=19362 once in a while, and hand out those "wonderful awards":http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2003/6/8/nation/invest&sec=nation on their birthdays. And "get paid taxpayers money":http://members.tripod.com/~constantian/expense.html doing it. I wouldn't wish to be born a king; life is too uncomplicated.
