JOHOR BARU: The Tunku Mahkota of Johor, Tunku Ibrahim Ismail, was appointed the Regent of Johor after his father, Sultan Iskandar ibni Almarhum Sultan Ismail, the Sultan of Johor, was admitted to the hospital here Friday after an illness.

The Head of the Johor Council of the Royal Court, Tunku Osman Tunku Temenggong Ahmad, announced that Sultan Iskandar had been admitted to the Puteri Specialist Hospital here.

“The Council of the Royal Court hereby decided under Clause 9(1)(b) and 9(2) First Section of the Johor State Constitution 1895, after receiving the medical report from three medical specialists, to appoint Duli Yang Amat Mulia Tunku Ibrahim Ismail ibni Sultan Iskandar, Tunku Mahkota Johor as the Regent today to carry out the duty of the Ruler during the illness of Duli Yang Maha Mulia Sultan Iskandar,” he announced at the Istana Besar Johor Baru here Friday.

Tunku Osman also asked the people to pray for the recovery of the Ruler.

The event was attended by the state executive councillors.

For the eldest son of the Sultan of Johor, this is not the first time that he has been appointed the Regent.

The first time he was appointed to the post was on April 25, 1984 when Sultan Iskandar was appointed the eighth Yang Di-Pertuan Agong. Tunku Ibrahim Ismail, 51, was installed as the Tunku Mahkota of Johor on July 3, 1981 at the age of 22.

Tunku Ibrahim is married to Raja Zarith Sofiah Almarhum Sultan Idris Shah and they have five sons and two daughters. -- Bernama

Anyone know how is the new sultan's relations with Singapore. I am sure we have been courting him for the last 15 years.

Friday is more auspicious for the Muslims, I think.

Wonder why he was not admitted to one of the private hospitals in Singapore like the other Sultan in the north - may be better chance of survival.

With the new Eurasian Sultan (English mother), will he be more willing to sell Johor sand to Singapore so that the 3rd bridge can be built? His late father was a good friend of MM Lee and EW Baker.

Singaporeans living in Johor ought to know more about the new Sultan and his likes and dislikes about them, and be more respectful.

How he die? Running 2.4km?

You think everybody is like the crazy Thai red and yellow shirt people dancing in the streets and airport of Bangkok? One day protest against the PM and the next day takes turn to allow the other to protest against Thaksin?

I think it's better that the Thai concentrate on producing the sweet, juicy, succulent - mangoes - that they are famous for.

Malaysia lost a colourful character. He will be known as the person who lost his kampong but gaining some applauses. (Menang sorak, kampong tergadai.) or in English as the man who cut off his nose to spite his face.

He hated Tun Salleh Abbas through his entanglements with the laws when Tun Salleh was a public prosecutor and that vindictiveness led him to be used by Tun Mahathir when clipping the rulers' power was amended in the country's constitution. Mahathir used him in his capacity as the Yang Di Pertuan Agong to sack Tun Salleh, removing the checks and balances provided by the constitution and thus freeing Mahathir to steamroll whatever was on his mind then. Malaysia was on the fringe of being a republic with President Mahathir.

Al-Marhum Sultan was an easily misled temperamental person.

Sultan of Johor, 77, dies

<!-- by line --> <!-- end by line --> <!--background story, collapse if none--> Regent of Johor a 'man of the people'

KUALA LUMPUR - THE Tunku Mahkota of Johor, Tunku Ibrahim Ismail, 51, who was appointed the Regent of Johor on Friday, is a man of many talents with the people's interests at heart.

His concern for the people was inherited from his father, the Sultan of Johor, Sultan Iskandar ibni Almarhum Sultan Ismail, who was hospitalised on Friday for illness.

People find this eldest son of Sultan Iskandar, who is academically qualified and has a long line of achievements, to be most approachable.

Fondly referred to as TMJ (Tengku Mahkota Johor), Tunku Ibrahim is synonymous with the 'Kembara Mahkota Johor', an annual royal motorcycle tour programme he initiated in 2001, which is founded on social activities.
The annual convoy of superbikes takes the regent as well as other dignatories, including the menteri besar and state officers, to all the eight districts of the state where they engage in various welfare projects. -- BERNAMA

KUALA LUMPUR- TUNKU Ibrahim received his religious education at the Sekolah Agama Bukit Zaharah and Sekolah Agama Air Molek in Johor Baharu.
After completing his secondary education, Tunku Ibrahim was sent to the army training centre in Kota Tinggi where he received basic military training for three months. He was also sent to Fort Bening, Georgia, in the United States to acquire more military knowledge. He also attended military training in Fort Bragg, USA. On his return to Malaysia, Tunku Ibrahim was appointed the deputy commander of the Johor Military Force. Tunku Ibrahim also attended helicopter training at the Kluang military base where he earned his wings. He also attended a two-month training stint with the Royal Malaysian Navy.

The regent is a keen sportsman, excelling in polo which has taken him to international competitions abroad, such as Singapore, the Philippines and Brunei.

He is also a tennis player, windsurfer, shooter and motoring enthusiast. -- BERNAMA
