Title

Succession to the Perak Sultanate

Description

Succession in the Perak Sultanate follows a unique and complex system based on seniority and rotating titles among royal family members. Rather than direct inheritance from father to son, the system promotes individuals through a ranked structure, with each title serving as a step toward the throne. This method helps maintain balance and tradition within the royal court while ensuring experienced leadership.
