Jamalul ibni Punjungan Kiram III (July 16, 1938 – October 20, 2013)[1][2] was a former self-proclaimed Sultan of the Sulu Sultanate[3] who claimed to be "the poorest sultan in the world".[4] He was known as an unsuccessful candidate for senator in the Philippine general elections in 2007. In 2013, Kiram III sparked a controversy when he revived a dispute between the Philippines and Malaysia by leading an intrusion into the eastern part of Sabah. His daughter is Princess Jacel Kiram, a proponent of the Sabah claim of the Philippines in 2016.[5][6][7][8]
