Johor Crown Prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim today lamented that the good his father Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar had done, including giving up many lands to the people and government, was not highlighted.
This was following revelations that the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) was stalled due to cost spike as a result of land intended for the project ending up in the hands of the Johor ruler, which would require heavy compensation.
Sultan Ibrahim had since said that he was prepared to surrender one of the lands involved in Bukit Chagar without cost.
"How many lands belonging to the Johor Sultan have been given to the people and government since before?
"The millions that were given to the government? The Johor sultan helped solve the government's debt two years after he ascended to the throne.
"How many millions that were given to (charitable) foundations? But the good is not highlighted," Tunku Ismail said in a Twitter post.
Berapa banyak Tanah tanah Sultan Johor yang di beri kepada Rakyat dan Kerajaan senjak dulu hingga ke hari ini? Berjuta duit Kurniaan kepada kerajaan? DYMM selesaikan hutang Kerajaan masa tahun ke dua jadi Sultan. Berapa Juta ke Yayasan Yayasan? Benda baik tidak di kongsi.

The land in question, which the Johor sultan has agreed to surrender, is the 4.5-ha Lot PTB 23354, which would have cost the government RM495.3 million.
No mention was made about the 2.4-ha underwater land named Lot 45419, which will also be used for the RTS project and will cost the government RM198.4 million in compensation.
Both parcels of land were transferred to the Johor sultan after the realignment of the RTS project.
Lot PTB23354 was transferred just two days after the Johor sultan consented to the realignment on Nov 19, 2017.
Then, on Dec 9, 2018, Lot 45419 was also transferred to the Johor ruler. - Mkini
