Yand di Pertuan
I don't speak Malay but I think this is a title. In the second reference you will find this term untranslated in pages that are written in English.
See the references, which are for Yand di Pertuan NOT for Yand di Pertua.

: it's a title. Yang Di Pertua and Yang Di Pertuan are different titles. the former is usually translated and the latter, if it's part of a ruler's title, is not.
