NOT many people out there could quite understand where Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman was coming from with that out-of the-blue outburst over the Crown Prince of Johor issue.
It was puzzling why he would call a press conference to talk about his fallout with Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim or TMJ, as he is better known, given that the incident happened more than a year ago.
The supreme council meeting was convened to discuss why the Johor exco reshuffle went ahead despite a decision by the Cabinet against a reshuffle. It was a rather lame excuse, but there was nothing much that anyone could do about it and besides the horse, as they say, had bolted. He has not denied that the text message came from him, but claimed that it was twisted out of context by irresponsible people.
The Malay Rulers’ hold on the Malays is not what it used to be. The Internet has opened a Pandora’s Box that can never be shut again.But Dr Mahathir’s gutsy approach to the palace has a wide support base out there. The Johor Baru media noted that the cars bringing in the exco members for the swearing-in ceremony were directed to enter by the back gate instead of the main entrance.
