One of Malaysia's leaders is a monarch, King Abdullah of Pahang is the current king of Malaysia. There are two different kinds of monarchies. Some kings or queens become leaders because of their family heritage, a father was king and then his daughter becomes the ruling queen. These kinds of monarchies are called hereditary monarchies. Malaysia is an elective monarchy, meaning that the monarch is elected. Like the Queen of England, his role is mostly ceremonial.
Malaysia has a Prime Minister and the Prime Minister has most of the ruling power, along with other elected and appointed officials.
