Early life and education

Tengku Fakhry was born in Kota Bharu, Kelantan on 7 April 1978 as the third of four children of the 28th Sultan of Kelantan, Sultan Ismail Petra and Raja Perempuan Tengku Anis. His two elder brothers are Sultan Muhammad V, the current Sultan of Kelantan and the 15th Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia, and Tengku Muhammad Faiz Petra, the Tengku Mahkota of Kelantan. His younger sister is Tengku Amalin A’ishah Putri, the Tengku Maharani Putri.[2]

Tengku Fakhry began his early education at Sultan Ismail Primary School (1) in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. He continued his studies at United World College in Singapore and then studied A-Levels at Hurtwood House in England. He graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Finance from the University of Westminster, London.[3]

Personal life

Tengku Fakhry married Manohara Odelia Pinot, an Indonesian model, on 26 August 2008 in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. They met in December 2006 at a dinner held by the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia at time, Najib Razak. Manohara filed for divorce in May 2009, alleging that she had endured physical and mental abuse from her husband. Tengku Fakhry denied these claims and his lawyer alleged that she was acting "out of spite" and "motivated by a desire of financial gains". The scandal received widespread media attention.[4][5][6]

Tengku Fakhry was previously conferred the title of Tengku Temenggong of Kelantan in March 1997 by his father, Sultan Ismail Petra but the title was stripped by his brother, Sultan Muhammad V in September 2010.[7] In April 2022, Tengku Fakhry was conferred the title of Tengku Bendahara of Kelantan by his brother, Sultan Muhammad V.[8]
