BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN (Brunei) - BRUNEI'S sultan announced on Wednesday he is divorcing his Malaysian wife after five years of marriage.
Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, the 63-year-old absolute monarch of this tiny, oil-rich country on Borneo island, married Azrinaz Mazhar Hakim, a former Malaysian TV news journalist, in 2005.
Ms Azrinaz, 30, gave birth to the sultan's 11th child, a baby boy, less than a year after their wedding and a daughter in 2008.
Brunei's palace announced on state television and radio late Wednesday that the sultan has divorced Ms Azrinaz and revoked all her royal titles. No other details were made available, but rumours of a royal breakup had been circulating in Brunei.
This is the second divorce for the sultan.
