JASIN: A man claiming to be the rightful "king" of Malaysia is now under police custody.

Jasin OCPD Deputy Supt Arshad Abu said the 46-year-old was arrested at 3pm on Jan 13 following a police report made by the officer-in-charge of the Sungai Rambai police station.


A special task force was formed soon after the report was lodged and the man was arrested at his home in Taman Sungai Rambai Mutiara here.

A check showed that the man had four previous criminal records relating to theft and fraud cases in Perak, he said in a statement on Tuesday (Jan 15).


He said police also confiscated 10 keris, eight swords, a spear and seven pieces of dragon-faced jade at two separate locations here.

On Monday (Jan 14) Sungai Rambai Development and Coordination Committee (Japerun) chairman Azalina Abdul Rahman also lodged a police report at Sungai Rambai accompanied by several committee members.

She said that the claims made by Ahmad Abdul Kadir Ismail, 46, were preposterous and beyond comprehension.

"Any individuals can own relics and fake royal regalia as these items are easily available at flea markets in Melaka, she said in a statement.

On Saturday (Jan12), Ahmad told the media at his in-law's home at Taman Sungai Rambai that he had ascended to the throne as Sultan Sheikh Ahmad Abdul Kadir Iskandar D'Zulkarnain in 2013.

Ahmad claimed that he possessed authentic regalia and relics of the historic Melaka sultanate including Ming Dynasty weapons and pottery.

In response to his claims, Melaka Chief Minister Adly Zahari said the state government would leave it to the authorities to handle Ahmad's claims
