Brunei Sultan to Undergo Knee Surgery

Brunei Sultan to Undergo Knee Surgery

The Sultan of Brunei, who is 79 years old, is going to have surgery on his knee this Sunday.

He is one of the longest-reigning monarchs in the world and has many important jobs in Brunei, like being the prime minister and the head of the army.

The surgery will take about two to three months to recover from, but he will still do his official duties during this time.

He will just be going to fewer events so he can rest and do physical therapy.

Last year, he was in the hospital in Malaysia for a short time because he was very tired.

Brunei is a small, rich country with a lot of oil, and most people there really like their sultan.
