Better use spelling "Monarch" Or "Yang di-Pertuan Agong" ?

Latest comment: 3 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

In the Infobox, it is stated that the King of Malaysia is called Yang di-Pertuan Agong, not Monarch, so would it be better to replace it with the word Monarch so that it is better?

Thank You. Baqotun0023 (talk) 03:00, 10 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

A King is a male monarch, and given there are no Malaysian ruling Queens, King seems appropriate. CMD (talk) 03:30, 10 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Simply removed not even notable enough for a mention in the article. Moxy🍁 03:17, 26 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Malaysia type of government

Latest comment: 21 days ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Shouldn't Malaysia's government be described in the introduction as a Federal parliamentary constitutional elective monarchy like in the Infobox? Akramgl1479 (talk) 17:23, 7 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

The lead does mention all those aspects. CMD (talk) 17:51, 7 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
