List of current heirs apparent in Malaysia
The State of Negeri Sembilan Darul Khusus does not have an heir apparent, as the ruler of Negeri Sembilan, known as the Yang di Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan is elected by a council of the four Undangs of Sungai Ujong, Jelebu, Johol, and Rembau.
The rules of succession in Perak Darul Ridzuan are more complicated than other Malay states. After a sovereign is appointed and installed he will appoint the Raja Muda (heir apparent) and Raja Di Hilir (heir presumptive) on advice of the Dewan Negara (Royal Council).[3] The reigning Sultan appoints princes of the blood (Waris negri) to certain high princely titles for life. They are arranged in a strict order of precedence indicating the order of succession to the throne. The relative precedence of these titles has altered from time to time, and additional titles have been included and removed. However, the current order, as confirmed on 25 February 1953, stands as follows:
1) Duli Yang Teramat Mulia (Tuanku) Raja Muda, Wakil us-Sultan, Wazir ul-Azam Negara Perak Dar ur-Ridzwan.
2) Duli Yang Amat Mulia Raja di-Hilir.
3) Yang Amat Mulia Raja Kechil Besar.
4) Yang Mulia Raja Kechil Sulong.
5) Yang Mulia Raja Kechil Tengah.
6) Yang Mulia Raja Kechil Bongsu.
On the death or promotion of an existing titleholder, the holder of the next most senior title, succeeds. On the death of a reigning Sultan, the prince holding the title of Raja Muda, the senior prince in the hierarchy succeeds him. The prince enjoying the title of Raja di-Hilir, becomes the new Raja Muda. The Raja Kechil Besar, becomes Raja di-Hilir, and so on. The new Sultan may then appoint his own nominee to the junior-most title made vacant by these successions.[4]
