The Sultan of Kedah’s Birthday is observed in Malaysia on the third Sunday of June. This day is an official holiday in Kedah, celebrating the birthday of the Sultan, who is currently Al Aminul Karim Sultan Sallehuddin ibni Almarhum Sultan Badlishah. The Sultanate of Kedah has historical roots dating back to its founding as a Hindu kingdom, with its conversion to Islam in the 12th century leading to the establishment of the Kedah Sultanate. Although the Sultan was born on April 30, his official birthday is celebrated in June, which is an exception among Malay states. The Sultan of Kedah has a military background and has been involved in state affairs since 1981, eventually ascending to the throne in 2017. The celebration typically includes various state-sponsored events and ceremonies in honor of the Sultan.
