The Sultan of Perak's Birthday is observed in the state of Perak, Malaysia, on the first Friday of November. This holiday commemorates the birthday of the Sultan, who is a significant figure in the state's history, with the first Sultan being the eldest son of Mahmud Shah from Malacca. The Sultanate of Perak has a rich lineage, having been established after the fall of Malacca in 1511, and it was ruled by the Malacca Dynasty until 1636. The current Sultan, Nazrin Shah, was proclaimed the 35th Sultan in 2014 and has a background in political economy and government. Since 2018, the Sultan's birthday is celebrated with a public holiday in Perak, although it is not recognized as a holiday in the rest of Malaysia.
