The Johor sultan today warned politicians not to intervene in palace affairs or make statements related to the palace, The Star Online reported.
Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar said some certain politicians had made remarks that sounded arrogant.
"This is a warning to all politicians and, among them, the Kempas assemblyman.
"There are even those who said they wanted to whack my son. Are these the leaders that we should respect?" Sultan Ibrahim was quoted as saying in a speech after attending Friday prayers in state capital Johor Baru.
Umno's Tengku Putra Haron Aminurrashid Tengku Hamid is Kempas assemblyman.
He reportedly said that a foreign billionaire had signed a memorandum of understanding with a member of the royal family to provide security services in Iskandar Malaysia, according to The Star.
On Tuesday he wrote on his blog that the Johor crown prince, Tunku Ismail, should be wary of "unscrupulous businessmen with the intent of 'printing money'" in Johor.
Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz warned the Johor crown prince in June not to interfere in politics, or risk getting "whacked".
He said this after Tunku Ismail criticised Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak for not showing up at the "Nothing2Hide" forum on 1Malaysia Development Bhd.
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had also recently issued a statement on the Johor royal family.
Last Friday, the Umno vice-president said he had met the Johor sultan and that the latter believed only Umno can unite the Malays.
