The Crown Prince of Johor Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim appears to have responded to Tourism and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz's remarks this morning to stay out of politics with a wordless video where the prince makes a hand gesture inviting a challenge. – Wikipedia pic, June 13, 2015.
Tunku Ismail, in a 17-second clip posted on the Facebook page of the Johor Southern Tigers, is seen making the hand movement, presumably in response to Tourism and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz's remarks this morning to stay out of politics or risk getting "whacked".
Nazri had ticked off the prince for an earlier posting on the same Facebook page last Friday, where the prince implied that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak had shirked responsibility by not showing up at the "Nothing to Hide" dialogue on 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB).
"How can you have a dialogue called Nothing2Hide featuring a person who has everything to hide? Obviously he won't show up.
"For those who have been entrusted with the responsibility, do not blame the people for losing confidence and trust in you, but think of why they no longer have the confidence and trust in you," Tunku Ismail had said in the post last week.
The prince is president of the Johor Southern Tigers football club.
Today, Nazri, who is also an Umno Supreme Council member, said rulers and members of the royal family were not above the law and should not comment on politics "otherwise he will be subject to the same rule and we will whack him".
The forum on 1MDB was organised by non-governmental group, SukaGuam, and would have seen Najib take questions on the Finance Ministry-owned debt-ridden fund.
But he did not turn up after police ordered the event cancelled on grounds of a security threat.
Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad attended the forum and took the stage to speak before being cut short by police.
