COMMENT | In Malaysia, including in the state of Johor, the constitution is supreme.
Can the sultan decree that the MB resign or be replaced?
This is unless there is credible evidence presented to the ruler that the menteri besar has lost the confidence of the majority of the State Legislative Assembly – as occurred in Perak in 2009 and Sabah in 2018. The palace would then be, directly or indirectly, unceremoniously dragged into the arena of state administration and politics. There is wisdom in the principle that the monarchy should be above, and not at the centre of politics.By convention, the nomination will be made by the leader of the political party or political coalition which commands the majority of the state assembly.
But such power is explicitly qualified – a person can only be appointed a Johor menteri besar if he, is a member of the Johor assembly and commands the confidence of the majority of the assembly.
