Sultan Muhammad V (Jawi: سلطان محمد ٥‎; born 6 October 1969) is the 29th Sultan of Kelantan since ascending to the throne in 2010. He previously reigned as the fifteenth Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia from 2016 until his abdication in 2019.

He was proclaimed Sultan of Kelantan on 13 September 2010, succeeding his father, Sultan Ismail Petra, who was deemed incapacitated due to illness. Sultan Muhammad V was later proclaimed Yang di-Pertuan Agong on 13 December 2016. On 6 January 2019, he became the first Yang di-Pertuan Agong to abdicate from the federal throne.[1]

Early life and education

[edit]

Born Tengku Muhammad Faris Petra bin Tengku Ismail Petra (Jawi: تڠکو محمد فاريس ڤيترا بن تڠکو إسماعيل ڤيترا‎) in Kota Bharu, Kelantan on 6 October 1969. He is the eldest son of Sultan Ismail Petra and Raja Perempuan Tengku Anis.

Tengku Faris received his early education at Fatima Convent kindergarten from 1974 to 1975. He continued his primary education at SK Sultan Ismail (1), Kota Bharu from 1976 to 1981 and his secondary education at Alice Smith School, Kuala Lumpur before leaving for the United Kingdom to study at Oakham School, Rutland, England from 1983 to 1989. He then furthered his education at St Cross College, Oxford and at the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies to study diplomatic studies, graduating in 1991.[2] He also studied at Huron University College, London, Ontario, Canada; Deutsche Stiftung für Internationale Entwicklung (DSE), Berlin, Germany; and the European Business School, London, United Kingdom.

Crown Prince of Kelantan

[edit]

Tengku Faris was made the Tengku Mahkota (Crown Prince) of Kelantan on 6 October 1985 and formally installed at Balairong Sri, Istana Balai Besar, Kota Bharu, Kelantan on 6 October 1987.

Regent of Kelantan

[edit]

On 14 May 2009, his father, Sultan Ismail Petra, suffered a massive stroke. He was admitted to Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore and Tengku Faris was appointed the Regent of Kelantan on 25 May in the Sultan's absence.[3]

Reign

[edit]

Sultan of Kelantan

[edit]

On 13 September 2010, Tengku Muhammad Faris Petra was proclaimed the 29th Al-Sultan of Kelantan, in accordance with Article 29A of the State Constitution which states that a sultan can no longer be ruler if he is not viable to rule for a period of more than a year.[4] He took the regnal name Sultan Muhammad V.[5]

Sultan Muhammad V attended the 222nd Meeting of the Conference of Rulers for the first time as a full member in October 2010. This marked the recognition of his accession as sultan by other rulers.[6]

Sultan Muhammad V is Colonel in Chief of Royal Intelligence Corps (Malaysia) and Royal Artillery Regiment (Malaysia).

Since 23 November 2022, he has served as the Chancellor of Universiti Malaysia Kelantan (UMK), as per his duties as Sultan of Kelantan.[7]

Deputy Yang di-Pertuan Agong

[edit]

Sultan Muhammad V was elected Deputy Yang di-Pertuan Agong in October 2011. He served in the post from 13 December 2011 until his election as Yang di-Pertuan Agong on 13 December 2016.[8]

Yang di-Pertuan Agong

[edit]

Sultan Muhammad V was elected by the Conference of Rulers on 14 October 2016 to become the next Yang di-Pertuan Agong, the head of state of Malaysia. His reign began on 13 December 2016, taking over from Abdul Halim, the Sultan of Kedah.[9] Sultan Muhammad V was installed as the fifteenth Yang Di Pertuan Agong of Malaysia on 24 April 2017 in a ceremony held at the Istana Negara, Jalan Duta, Kuala Lumpur.[10]

His younger brother, Tengku Muhammad Faiz Petra, the Tengku Mahkota, served as Regent of Kelantan throughout Sultan Muhammad V's tenure as Yang di-Pertuan Agong.[11]

He was made an Honorary Fellow of his former College, St Cross College, Oxford on 28 February 2018.[12]

It was during his reign when Malaysia witnessed the first change in government in 2018, when the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition government, led by former Prime Minister Najib Razak, was unseated by the Pakatan Harapan government, led by former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad. Sultan Muhammad V also granted a royal pardon to Anwar Ibrahim, the current Prime Minister of Malaysia, which paved way for him to return to the Dewan Rakyat once again in a by-election held later that year.

In an unprecedented move, Sultan Muhammad V became the first Yang di-Pertuan Agong to abdicate from the throne, effective 6 January 2019 while his term was to end on 12 December 2021.[1] This followed a leave of absence from his position following rumours that he had married a former Russian beauty queen.[13]

Personal life

[edit]

On 15 November 2004, Sultan Muhammad V (then the Tengku Mahkota) married Tengku Zubaidah binti Tengku Norudin (née Kangsadal Pipitpakdee), a member of the Patani royal family.[14] He divorced her in 2008, which resulted in her losing the privilege as Tengku Ampuan Mahkota of Kelantan.

He was the first Yang di-Pertuan Agong in Malaysian history to reign without a Raja Permaisuri Agong consort.[15]

On 30 October 2010, he married Sultanah Nur Diana Petra Abdullah (née Jana Jakoubková) and proclaimed her as the Sultanah of Kelantan on 2 August 2022 with the style as Her Royal Highness Sultanah Nur Diana Petra Abdullah, Sultanah of Kelantan.[16]

In late November 2018, it was reported that while on leave from the country, Sultan Muhammad V had married former beauty pageant winner Oksana Voevodina in Barvikha, Russia.[17] However, the reported marriage in Moscow was in fact a party to enable Oksana Voevodina's friends and family to celebrate the couple's official Islamic wedding, which had taken place in private on 7 June 2018, in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, following Oksana's conversion to Islam in April 2018.[18] There is no official record of a marriage in Russia. Voevodina won the Miss Moscow title in 2015. Media reported the birth of their son Tengku Ismail Leon Petra ibni Sultan Muhammad V on 21 May 2019.[19][20] On 1 July 2019, Sultan Muhammad V divorced her by a "talak tiga" or talaq baayin that is the irrevocable divorce and most severe divorce in Islam, after filing of documents at the Singapore Syariah Court earlier on 22 June.[21] On 6 September he acknowledged that the marriage did take place;[22] Oksana had given birth to a son three months and half earlier.[19][20]
