He said this in response to Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's statement that the role of appointing the new Johor MB lay with the party that won the election, and not with the Sultan of Johor.
His post was shared by Tunku Mahkota Johor Tunku Ismail Ibni Sultan Ibrahim via his official Facebook page here on Wednesday . "Tthe statement saying Sultan Johor does not have any role and right to appoint the Mentri Besar is incorrect, sidetracks and purposely done to confuse the community about the duty and role of His Majesty in the government system, especially in Johor," he said.
"It will take some time to appoint an acting mentri besar of Johor. We will try to appoint one as soon as possible.When pressed if it was the Sultan of Johor who would be appointing the MB or acting MB, Dr Mahathir said:"This is a political decision."
Absolute right my ass....lawyer buruk ke
This is purely a egotistical
Yup, Sultan have the power to appoint Chief Minister of the State and only Sultan have the power.
What happened to the oft repeated phrase 'there is no such thing as absolute rights'?
All I hear
Anyone know the lawyer name, let me know so I can avoid hiring him
Umno lawyer kot?
Why are you quoting a lawyer no one has ever heard of? For balanced journalism, you should ask someone familiar with constitutional law like Prof Shad Faroqi, edmundbon limweijiet -who wrote an opinion for malaymail drewYong syahredzan
Leave politics to the politicians.
The Star belong to MCA
kuabt Question for a stupid lawyer: Can the Sultan appoint an assemblyman from UMNO who does not command the support of the majority of assemblymen in the state assembly to be MB?
Bila nak keluar dari Malaysia ni?
what say you prime minister?😬
Ok lah Choose Jibby also can
The only absolute right he has is teach his fat son to shut his mouth more often and help his fellow countrymen to solve the water problem, airspace violation & the rts in Johor.
See what a Noble person says
My burning question: Why is Johor Sultan is so eager to be the one who wants to appoint the MB?
Everybody should know this is an mca backed newspaper, similar to harakah n utusan,
Oh really ?
Stupid
Bahanol
Show us the clause, if there is it would definitely be back door channel created by BN, which will clash with our Consitistution, the the Party with majority in state seat shall appoint MB, if the ruler can appoint MB why do we need Election!?
Tolong lah jangan lah gaduh se sama melayu. La ni mcm ni lah. Rakyat pun tak mau krisis. Tunku pilih lah yg mana Tunku berkenan, yg senang kerja dan mengikut cakap Tunku. Tak payah lah ada piliharaya kat Johor tu pilih DUN.
Sorang kata no role. Sorang kata absolute right. Opposite giler. Hadoi apa nak jadi negaraku. Bukan sama sama naik proton saga ke aritu?
Hence the ruling party still has a say who shud be the candidates..something similiar which happened in Selangor during ge13 I guess
I believe the ruling party chooses the candidates and the sultan can make a choice from there , it’s not that the sultan himself chooses from any party who he wishes to be mb. So a choice have to be given to the sultan before he makes a decision.
I don’t think Tun did not do his homework before saying anything. He’s the instrument during 1983 and 1993 bill amendments. Undang-undang Tubuh Negeri Johor 1895 - is that still valid? Looks like moyang’s time
Rakyat is with Tun M on Johor!
He can only approve and object the candidates ...so if he keeps objecting Johor is left without a MB...... stalemate in Johor property market like Forest City, Danga Bay and Astaka but no loss to Federal
It’s absolute transparent Johor royal hates Tun and all these controversial statement both parties has a lot of ripple effects! Rakyat Watching you
1993 bill supersede la penguin bangang . Bahlul
So pilih lahhhh...haha.. Ckp.. ni Beta Pilih.
