Yes, the Royal Family of Johor was the people’s champion, at least temporarily in 2015. The monarch suddenly made a spectacular U-turn on April 7, 2018, about a month before the May 9 General Election.

For a while, people found comfort in Sultan Ibrahim of Johor as the monarch stepped forward to become the hero against tyrants like PM Najib Razak and extreme organizations like JAKIM. Before the notorious Jakim could strike, the sultan had declared that Christmas festival can be celebrated. During the Red Shirts rally, the sultan ordered (Johorean) racists and haters leave his state immediately.
The Sultanate of Johor was the only monarch who openly criticized the 1MDB scandal, mocking Najib’s silly donation excuse after RM2.6 billion was found in his account. The scandal had contributed to the depreciation of local currency, so much so that the Johor Queen – Oxford graduate Raja Zarith Sofiah – offered to help Malaysian students in the United Kingdom facing financial difficulties.
Sultan Ibrahim had also spoken about the need to revive English-medium schools like those in Singapore, throwing punches at UMNO politicians who were in “self-denial” and chose to play politics with education by being “heroes of their races”. He insulted UMNO politicians who talked about nationalism but sent their children to boarding schools in Australia and the United Kingdom instead.
The Crown Prince of Johor, Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, had laughed at the cowardly man – PM Najib – for not attending the “Nothing to Hide” dialogue. He said – “How can you have a dialogue called ‘Nothing2Hide’ featuring a person who has everything to hide? Obviously he won’t show up.” He also ridiculed Najib like “a drowning man who will try to reach and hold on to anything – including ‘faeces’”.
Yes, the Royal Family of Johor was the people’s champion, at least temporarily in 2015. The monarch suddenly made a spectacular U-turn on April 7, 2018, about a month before the May 9 General Election. The crown prince unexpectedly urged Johoreans not to rock the boat, suggesting that the people should continue to vote for Najib Razak, the same person he had mocked and insulted.
The Crown Prince of Johor posted his lengthy lecture on the Johor Southern Tigers Facebook page on April 7, 2018 – “Don’t change the boat if the engine is not broken, don’t even change the skipper but allow HM The Sultan of Johor and me to guide the skipper for you. Change what needs to be changed and upgrade what needs upgrading for the sake of our beloved country.”
Today, the cat is out of the bag.
