Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar Attends Armed Forces Colours Parade Ceremony in Putrajaya

PUTRAJAYA, June 5, 2026 — His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar, King of Malaysia, attended the Armed Forces Colours Parade Ceremony at Dataran Pahlawan Negara, Putrajaya, today as part of the official celebrations marking His Majesty's Official Birthday 2026. Accompanying His Majesty was His Royal Highness Tunku Idris Iskandar Al-Haj Ibni Sultan Ibrahim, Tunku Temenggong of Johor. Upon arrival, Sultan Ibrahim was received by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, Deputy Prime Minister Fadillah Yusof, and Defence Minister Mohamed Khaled Nordin. His Majesty was accorded a royal salute as the national anthem, Negaraku, was played. A 21-gun salute was also fired by the 41st Ceremonial Battery of the Royal Artillery Regiment, led by Major Hafizah Mat Ghani. Sultan Ibrahim subsequently inspected the parade contingent comprising 25 officers and 510 personnel from the three branches of the Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM). The parade was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Azlan Shah Baharom, Commanding Officer of the Fifth Battalion, Royal Malay Regiment. The Colours Parade Ceremony is one of the principal events held in conjunction with the Official Birthday celebration of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong. The military colours, known as Panji-Panji, represent the honour, pride, spirit, and unwavering loyalty of the Malaysian Armed Forces to the King and the nation. Historically, military colours originated from banners carried by armies in ancient times. In the modern era, they symbolize the close relationship between military units and the Royal Institution under the patronage of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong. The Colours Parade Ceremony is traditionally held three times during the five-year reign of each Yang di-Pertuan Agong — in the first, third, and final years of the monarch's reign. -- MINUTESMY -- SOURCE : Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar
