  • Tunku Ibrahim Pewaris Takhta Berjiwa Rakyat Malaysiakini.Com Jan 22, 2010
    Tunku Ibrahim pewaris takhta berjiwa rakyat Malaysiakini.com Jan 22, 2010 Tunku Ibrahim Ismail ibni Sultan Iskandar yang dilantik sebagai Pemangku Raja Johor hari ini, adalah seorang pewaris takhta yang mempunyai banyak keistimewaan. Mewarisi sifat prihatin ayahanda baginda, putera sulung Sultan Johor, Sultan Iskandar ibni Almarhum Sultan Ismail, itu bukan hanya mempunyai latar belakang akademik dan pencapaian membanggakan tetapi baginda juga cukup disenangi kerana keperibadian yang menawan hati rakyat. Mesra disapa sebagai TMJ (Tengku Mahkota Johor), Tunku Ibrahim, 51, cukup sinonim dengan Program Kembara Mahkota Johor, aktiviti berteraskan kerja-kerja sosial yang diilhamkan baginda sejak 2001. Konvoi motosikal berkuasa tinggi itu yang dijadikan acara tahunan, membawa baginda dan rombongan pengiringnya terdiri daripada Menteri Besar dan pegawai negeri lain ke semua lapan daerah di Johor yang menyaksikan Tunku Ibrahim dan rombongan melaksanakan pelbagai projek kebajikan sepanjang laluan konvoi. Sikap prihatin dan kesungguhan baginda untuk turun padang bagi melihat sendiri kehidupan dan menyelami susah senang masyarakat membina kredibiliti baginda sebagai pewaris takhta yang mesra rakyat. Semasa kembara pertamanya pada 2001, Tunku Ibrahim tidak kekok untuk mendokong dan mendodoikan seorang bayi yang terlentuk di bahu baginda. Ketika melawat Kampung Temiang di Muar, baginda sempat menjamah ubi rebus yang menjadi makanan rakyat dengan begitu berselera serta memuji pembuat sambal ubi rebus, iaitu seorang nenek yang terharu dengan pujian Tunku Mahkota Johor. Teguk air tebu bersama rakyat Kesungguhan baginda untuk merasai kehidupan seharian rakyat jelata di situ jelas terserlah apabila pada satu ketika baginda meneguk air tebu dalam bungkusan plastik yang dihulurkan oleh seorang penduduk. Tidak bersendirian, aktiviti turun padang itu memecah tembok pemisah antara istana Johor dan rakyat apabila Tunku Ibrahim turut membabitkan isteri, Raja Zarith Sofiah Sultan Idris Shah, dan putera-puteri baginda dalam ekspedisi itu.

  • Views on Identity, Education and the Johor Royal Family
    ISSUE: 2017 No. 84 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 13 November 2017 Johor Survey 2017: Views on Identity, Education and the Johor Royal Family Lee Hock Guan* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY § A recent survey of registered voters in Johor reflect strong but not exclusive identification with Johor, support for a return to English-medium schooling and positive views of the Johor Royal Family. § 88 per cent of all respondents identify with Bangsa Johor, with Chinese respondents registering the highest identification (90.5 percent), followed by the Malays (88.2 percent) and Indians (81.7 percent). For all groups, regional identity is ranked lower than national and religious identities. § The majority of Malay respondents view themselves as Muslim (56.5 percent) first. While 31.8 percent of Indian and 16.1 percent of Chinese respondents identify with their ethnicity, only 2.2 percent Malay respondents identify themselves as Malay. § The survey finds that a majority of all respondents in the state (82 percent) support bringing back public English-medium schools. Predictably, 87.1 percent of Malay respondents endorse the “One School for All” concept. Surprisingly, the concept also receives strong support from Chinese (74.4 percent) and Indians (67.1 percent). § Generally, respondents are positive about the Johor Royal Family. They agree that the Johor Sultan looks after the personal interests of citizen, is a good guardian of Islam, and think that he should intervene in politics when necessary. Results were more mixed on the question whether Johor royalty should refrain from business ventures. * Lee Hock Guan is Senior Fellow at the ISEAS - Yusof Ishak Institute.

  • Dr M Urges Rulers Pressure Najib Out, Says Late Johor Sultan His Friend Malaysiakini.Com Mar 27 Th , 2016
    Dr M urges rulers pressure Najib out, says late Johor sultan his friend MalaysiaKini.com Mar 27 th , 2016 CONGRESS Former Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad has refuted claims that government-palace ties are better under Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak compared to when Mahathir was PM for 22 years. In fact, Mahathir said, one of his best friends was the late Sultan Iskandar Ismail of Johor. The sultan’s reported assault of a hockey coach in 1992 led to a constitutional crisis, with the government led by then-PM Mahathir moving to curb royal powers. “One of my best friends was the late sultan of Johor and I changed the law with regard to assault on any sultan, on anybody. But he was my friend until the last (breath),” Mahathir told reporters today. He said this at a press conference after the People’s Congress in Shah Alam. In his speech earlier, he said he hopes the royals would heed the people and intervene in urging for Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak’s resignation. He recalled how the sultans boycotted the swearing-in of the British governor-general of the Malayan Union, following protests by the people. This led to the scrapping of the Malayan Union. “So if the rulers were to urge for it, there's a possibility that the prime minister will be removed. “If millions ask for Najib to be removed, the rulers would have to accept this. “If we show the rulers how much the rakyat want Najib to be removed, I believe that even though the rulers don't have the power enshrined under the constitution, they will make efforts to remove him,” he said.
