Malaysia's Agong, or King, holds a symbolic position as the guardian of the nation's sovereignty and unity. His birthday celebrated on the first Monday of June, serves as an occasion to honour his leadership and reaffirm national solidarity. The Agong, or Yang di-Pertuan Agong, serves as Malaysia's ceremonial head of state, embodying national unity and representing the country's sovereignty. With constitutional powers outlined in the Federal Constitution, the Agong upholds Malaysia's fundamental law and plays a crucial role in appointing the Prime Minister. Additionally, the Agong participates in state functions and ceremonies, both domestically and internationally, symbolizing Malaysia on the world stage.
On the Agong's birthday, all Malaysians come together to honor their monarch and celebrate the institution of the monarchy. This special day is marked by a series of vibrant and patriotic festivities held across the country.

Throughout the day, cultural performances and festivities abound, showcasing Malaysia's rich cultural heritage and diversity. Traditional music, dance, and theatrical performances take centre stage, highlighting the unique customs and traditions of the country's multiethnic society.
