Nope, The Malay Rulers are totally untouchable under the law for most criminal offenses, except murder, treason & corruption.Can the Malay rulers be held accountable in a court of law? Or can they be voted out? Seems a bit dangerous if theres no checks and balance

Best is Johor to leave Federation and move into Singapore together with Penang and Malacca.
Together with Sabah and Sarawak
That is a mutually beneficial arrangement. S'pore will secure our hinterland and water supply while Johor will reach First World status in no time under our leadership.Best is Johor to leave Federation and move into Singapore together with Penang and Malacca. Together with Sabah and Sarawak

"In the video, Mahathir allegedly made a remark that the Malays cannot rely on the Malay rulers to protect them. He also purportedly divulged that he had no respect for the rulers."
I guess things will improve only when the chinese take over Malaysia.

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 10 — Johor Ruler Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar has said that among his focus when he takes on the duty as the 17th Yang Di-Pertuan Agong is to stop corruption.

In an exclusive interview with the Singapore Straits Times, he said ensuring there is no disunity in the country will be his biggest challenge.
He said a stable government must be consistent, with a sustainable policy that is needed to fix the economy.
A key cause of political instability, he said, was “sour grapes” by those at the losing end.

“You know, people contribute hundreds of millions before elections. How do you pay them back? Giving them mega projects. That’s not going to be the case the moment I’m there. Too bad, who asked you to give?” he asked, referring to kickbacks.
“From my great-grandfather, we were great hunters. I make sure when I go hunting, I bring back nice game. But when I’m in KL, it’s a concrete jungle, so what do I hunt? I’m going to hunt all the corrupt people. I make sure I bring results,” he was quoted as saying.
He also suggested that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission report directly to the Agong, instead of to Parliament as it does now.

“If it comes to the Agong, it means you are not under the influence of anybody from the executive. Even Petronas shouldn’t be under Parliament, report directly to me,” he said, referring to the state oil giant.
He also suggested that judicial appointments must “be separated from the executive — they must be independent”.
Judges are appointed by the king, on the advice of the prime minister after an appointment panel recommends candidates.
“We only get the list (from the Prime Minister’s Office) during the Conference of Rulers. Why don’t you bring the name down (to us) before you appoint? We are not a rubber stamp,” he reportedly said.
On October 27, the Istana Negara announced Sultan Ibrahim as the 17th Yang Di-Pertuan Agong, with Perak's Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah as his deputy.
Sultan Ibrahim’s five-year reign as Malaysia’s King will start on January 31 next year, with Sultan Nazrin's term also starting on the same day.

If the Malaysian Chinese are permitted to run the country's Govt, they will finally be able to compete with S'pore and be a developed country. Be careful what S'poreans wish for.
Over my dead body. Chinese will turn minahs into prostitutes like they did in thailand and cambodia."In the video, Mahathir allegedly made a remark that the Malays cannot rely on the Malay rulers to protect them. He also purportedly divulged that he had no respect for the rulers."
I guess things will improve only when the chinese take over Malaysia.
