New photo Malaysia's king becomes first to abdicate throne since country gained independence 60 years ago

King Sultan Muhammad V of Malaysia has abdicated two years into his five-year reign

The King of Malaysia has abdicated after just two months on the throne.

King Sultan Muhammad V, 49, resigned with immediate effect this morning, a palace statement said.

No reason was given for cutting short his five-year term - a first in the country's history.  

Sultan Muhammad V, ruler of northeast Kelantan state, was installed in December 2016 as one of Malaysia's youngest constitutional monarchs. 

He married former Miss Moscow Oksana Voevodina, 25, in a lavish ceremony in November after she reportedly converted to Islam to be with him. 

Under a unique system maintained since Malaysia's independence from Britain in 1957, nine hereditary state rulers take turns as king for five-year terms.  

In a statement, the palace said simply: 'The National Palace informs that his majesty has resigned as the 15th king effective January 6.'

There had been a question mark over the reign of the king since his leave of absence 'for medical treatment' in November.

Reports then circulated online that he had married a former Miss Moscow in Russia -- although royal officials in Malaysia have so far not commented on the rumours.

Speculation intensified about his future this week when the country's Islamic royals reportedly held a special meeting.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
