Tunku Idris Iskandar posts screenshot of the Johor state's agreement to become a part of the Federation of Tanah Melayu.
JOHOR BAHRU: Johor prince Tunku Idris Iskandar has followed in his older brother’s footsteps by issuing a silent but ominous message on social media in the form of a screenshot on Instagram of what is believed to be the Johor state’s agreement to become a part of the Federation of Tanah Melayu.
The agreement that was signed by the late Sultan Abu Bakar states that the Johor Government agrees to sign it only if certain conditions are met.
The conditions included Islam as the official religion of the state; the land in Johor as being the absolute right of the Johor government; and most importantly, that the power of the Johor government lay in the hands of the sultan.
The agreement also says in no uncertain terms that should these conditions not be met that Johor would secede (keluar) from Malaysia.
The picture posted two days ago was not accompanied by any title or personal comment so it was unclear as to whom it was directed to or the purpose of it.
The comment section showed that most netizens had the prince’s back while others just wanted to see peace in the country prevail.
The image was posted after remarks by Minister of Tourism and Culture Nazri Aziz that the Tunku Mahkota of Johor not meddle in politics unless he was prepared to be “whacked”.
His older brother Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim had responded earlier to Nazri with a wordless video posted on the Johor Southern Tigers Facebook page where he made a defiant ‘come-on’ hand gesture.
