Tuanku Jaafar ibni Almarhum Tuanku Abdul Rahman, GCB (19 July 1922 – 27 December 2008) was the tenth Yang di-Pertuan Agong (equivalent to King) of Malaysia from 26 April 1994 until 25 April 1999 and the tenth Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan.

Duli Yang Maha Mulia Tuanku Abdul Rahman ibni Almarhum Tuanku Muhammad married Che Engku Maimunah bt Abdullah @ Dulcie Campbell in 1919. The couple subsequently divorced. They have two sons and two daughters who are Tuanku Ja’afar, Tunku Abdullah, Tunku Aidah and Tunku Sheila. Tuanku Ja’afar ibni Almarhum Tuanku Abdul Rahman was born on 19 July 1922 in Klang, Selangor and was raised in Seri Menanti, Negeri Sembilan.

Growing up in an affectionate and considerate family had a profound impact on Tuanku Ja’afar’s character. He had a very close relationship with all his siblings. He also emulated his father’s practice of visiting the local villagers and performing Friday prayers at Masjid Seri Menanti with his subjects. This childhood experience helped form Tuanku Ja’afar’s extraordinary character as an approachable and highly respected individual. Tuanku Ja’afar received his primary education at the Seri Menanti Malay School. Tuanku Ja’afar then continued his studies at the Malay College Kuala Kangsar or better known as MCKK. Sports were a compulsory subject at MCKK. Thanks to his zeal and talent for sports, Tuanku Ja’afar shone in a number of sports and was made the captain for five teams which were cricket, tennis, squash, football and hockey. On top of that, Tuanku Ja’afar was also an impressive badminton and chess player. It was at MCKK that he became close with Tun Abdul Razak Hussein, who was the second Prime Minister of Malaysia.
