ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Sultanate of Kedah

Okay, so imagine you are playing a game and you have a group of friends. Sometimes, one friend gets to be the leader and they make the rules and decisions for everyone to follow.

Well, a long time ago in a place called Malaysia, there was a group of people who lived in an area called Kedah. They appointed a leader called a Sultan to be in charge and make decisions for their community. This was called the Sultanate of Kedah.

The Sultanate of Kedah is like when you have a class at school and the teacher is in charge. The Sultan is like the teacher and Kedah is like the classroom. The Sultan made sure everyone followed the rules and helped take care of the people who lived in Kedah.

The people of Kedah were really good at many things like farming, fishing, and trading. They had friendships and connections with other nearby communities, which helped them thrive and enjoy a rich culture.

Over time, the Sultanate of Kedah changed and grew. Different Sultans took charge and made their own decisions, but the people of Kedah still looked up to them as leaders. Today, the history and legacy of the Sultanate of Kedah still live on in the culture and traditions of Malaysia.
