Unlike Queen Elizabeth II, who was born into the role of monarch, Malaysia's King, Abdul Halim of Kedah, was chosen in December 2011. In Malaysia, the king is elected by the Conference of Rulers and granted a five-year tenure to govern the country. The country's sultans, who inherit their titles from their fathers, make up the Conference of Rulers.
