The official birthday of the King for this year has been postponed from July 29 to Sept 9.

"The Government has agreed to move the birthday celebration of His Highness Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Muhammad V for the year 2017 from Saturday, July 29, 2017, to Saturday, Sep 9, 2017," Bernama quoted a statement issued by the Prime Minister's Department today. 

This is the second time this year the King's official birthday has been postponed. 

Back in April, the government had announced that the official birthday of the King will be shifted from the first Saturday of June to the last Saturday of July, to accommodate the fasting month of Ramadan.
