Al-Aminul Karim Sultan Sallehuddin ibni Almarhum Sultan Badlishah (Jawi: الأمين الکريم سلطان صالح الدين ابن المرحوم سلطان بدلي شاه‎; born 30 April 1942) is the 29th Sultan of Kedah since ascending to the throne in September 2017 upon the death of his elder half-brother Abdul Halim.^[1]

From soldier to Sultan, as the fourth son (that lived to adulthood) of Almarhum Sultan Badlishah, he was never expected to inherit the throne. But with the passing of his elder brother, Tunku Annuar, suddenly made way for him to eventually became the next heir to the sultanate (behind his elder half-brother, the then-Raja Muda of Kedah, Tunku Abdul Malik).
