Tell PM to axe Johor from Malaysia if unhappy, crown prince tells critics

KUALA LUMPUR — Critics dissatisfied with Johor’s administration can simply propose to the prime minister to expel the southern state from the federation, the state’s crown prince Ismail Sultan Ibrahim said.

In a scathing post on the Johor Southern Tigers’ Facebook page on Tuesday (May 31) night, Mr Ismail came out with a laundry list of criticisms faced by the state from “certain parties” whom he alleged to be envious of the public support towards the state royal family and the government.

“Should any of you are uneasy with Johor Darul Ta’zim being in Malaysia, you can all march down to Putrajaya and propose to the Prime Minister to remove the State of Johor from Malaysia,” he wrote in the post entitled “Do not blame Johor because of your jealousy”.

Starting each sentence with “don’t blame Johor...”, Mr Ismail said Johoreans should not be accused of obsession towards the Sultan and crown prince who are always supportive their people.

“Don’t blame Johor if your leaders are not there with you… The difference between our leaders and yours is that our leaders were born to serve the people.

“Don’t blame Johor why we don’t like people who are corrupt? It’s because we brought up never to be as despicable as that.

“Don’t blame Johor if your leaders are not there with you when the country is plagued with integrity turmoil. We are proud to have leaders who will always fight for our rights and will always be transparent with us,” he wrote.

Mr Ismail said his people did not know what racism is because they are built on a foundation that was based on unity and that his subjects are known as “Bangsa Johor”.

It is unknown what prompted the prince to pen his strongly-worded missive on Facebook. MALAY MAIL ONLINE
