With the rising force in Malaysia's opposition, political uncertainty will define a new and possibly greater role for the Malay rulers. Amidst political insecurity lies a strong force depicted in perfect pictorial images of the yellow royal regalia seen on television, newspapers and the walls of offices, restaurants and hotel lobbies. All over the world, modern monarchs are a force that is resilient and has endured for many centuries, and yet, must reform for a improved contemporary role in a progressive, plural society. This book illustrates the current faces of modern monarchies around the world and their roles and influence in society.
