The Governor, officially Yang di-Pertua Negeri (Jawi: يڠ دڤرتوا نݢري, lit. 'He Who is Made Head of the State') is the constitutional head of state for the four Malaysian states without a ruler, namely Penang, Malacca, Sabah and Sarawak. This is in contrast with the ruler (Malay: Raja), who serves as the constitutional monarch and head of state of the nine Malay states.
