KUALA LUMPUR: Johor Crown Prince Tunku Ismail Ibni Sultan Ibrahim is a regular citizen like any other Malaysian and he is not above the law, said Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
However, Dr Mahathir said that Tunku Ismail was free to criticise the Pakatan Harapan government as long as no laws are broken.
"In fact, nobody in Malaysia is above the law," Dr Mahathir said to reporters during a press conference at the Parliament lobby on Tuesday . "He can make that choice himself. He wants to be political, he can. But there is nothing to prevent any citizen of Malaysia from expressing his opinion.Dr Mahathir's remarks came following the confirmation of Datuk Osman Sapian's resignation as the Johor mentri besar.
Tunku Ismail has been particularly vocal against Pakatan, with the most recent being his opposition against the government's move to accede to the Rome Statute.
