3 Perak-Born Individuals With 'King' Titles
These three Perak-born individuals are often the subject of jokes and memes on Facebook. Each holds a 'King' title in different categories: the King of Police Reports, the World's Shaman King, and the King (Sultan) of Melaka.
All three individuals are quite famous, not just throughout Malaysia but perhaps even globally, due to the controversial issues they have sparked and which have gone viral. Who in Malaysia doesn't know the King of Police Reports? Abdul Rani Bin Kulup Abdullah is a retired soldier born on March 10, 1955, and is a native of Perak.
He is well-known by the title 'King of Police Reports' because he has filed the most police reports in Malaysia, exceeding 1,000. The use of #kipidap, which has gone viral on social media, also originated from his casual pronunciation of 'keep it up'.
Ibrahim Mat Zin, who hails from Teluk Intan, Perak, and is dubbed the 'World's Shaman King', voluntarily came forward to assist security forces in locating the MH370 aircraft that went missing on March 8, 2014. He became widely known from that day on and is often the subject of jokes on Facebook. This 'World's Shaman King', who is over 80 years old, also holds other titles such as Datok Mahaguru Ibrahim Mat Zin or the VIP Shaman King, and has over 50 years of experience in the field of shamanism.
Next is the case of the King (Sultan) of Melaka. Raja Noor Jan Shah Ibni Al-Marhum Y.A.M. Raja Tuah Shah, born on December 25, 1975, and hailing from Ipoh, Perak, is widely known for his claims to be installed as the Sultan of Melaka. This is because he asserts that he is the rightful heir to the Melaka and Perak sultanates. It is said that he also received recognition from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) as the heir to the throne he is claiming. Those are the 3 individuals born in Perak who hold 'King' titles and are popular on Facebook.
