Trivia: Which Asian country elects a new king every five years?
China
Malaysia
Singapore
India
The correct answer is Malaysia
So why is this answer correct? : Malaysia is one of the only countries in the world with an elective monarchy. The monarchy is also constitutional, and the monarch, called “Yang di-Pertuan Agong” (paramount ruler), only has ceremonial power. The Yang di-Pertuan Agong is elected every five years from a group of nine hereditary state rulers. This ruler has the duty of appointing the prime minister from members of the House of Representatives.
