If a lawyer could point to a state constitution which states that the Sultan has the absolute right in appointing the Mentri Besar, I would rather believe the lawyer than the PM who does not honour the rule of law.
Mahathir is looking for a CM who will report to him and do his dirty work to get even with Singapore rather than work for the people Johor, which the Sultan is demanding.

Jacky Way It has always been a monarchy my dear Bolehland Cina. Haven't you realised that? And it is in the State Constitution. The monarch must approve and select the MB.

Jacky Way You must b joking Only a year ago who appointed our PM to the office Y has our PM so easily forgotten that he hd to wait for such a long time to b ordained In my honest opinion our PM shud listen to the two experienced lawyers who had confrmed that it is the perogative of the Sultan to pick his state MB Y must our PM still insisted that his party to choose the MB Hello PM u r not above the law Instead Pls do ur utmost best to run the country w/o v having to experiencing daily consumer things going up tks

Malaysia Malays has forgotten Mahathief is infact a Indian. His Championship for Malays is a gimmick to stay on power. Now he will try to remove all sultans remaining power as he once did as PM.
Royals should meet up to work united in preserving their legacy.
Borneo should seek equal power or secede.
Prince Ismail can be Chief Minister to protect Johore interest.
This old man will carry all hatred & chaos to his grave, remembered as worst tyrant in Msia. There is never peace with him around. May be Trumps can invite him over as chief trouble advisor to help Bolton.

Yes this Mahathir is a dictator, he could do it then but not now under PH umbrella. It puzzles me why people are applauding him for becoming the oldest PM when he should rightfully be enjoying the fruits of his labour if he had done a good job. But no, he has to be back to fix the mess he created but putting the blame on others except on himself. Why should a rich country like Singapore take advantage of a poor country like Malaysia in pay 3 sen per thousand gallons of raw water? Why should the rich EU bully a poor country like Malaysia by banning palm oil? The correct question to ask should be why is Malaysia a poor country?

and you are a chinese...Doesn't that say it all? You boat people with no sense of moral or loyalty will have made all the fortunes destroying the land and hand the country to China. China will claim all along it was theirs, that would be interesting wouldnt it? The worst tyrant is the one already passed the bucket. Just keep ranting, does not change the reality on the ground.

Niko Nishi Malaysia is a Poor country because it had been Mismanaged and Plundered by Prata Man and his cronies since inception.Malaysia's deep-seated problems and poverty were caused by the same group of thieves.Now the nation is Stupid enough to invite back the same robber and expect him to save them from the problems he created in the first place! LOL. Stupidity knows no bounds.

Masa Soh Mengming Wait ...you can smell cow faeces...Hopefully you can see better as well...lol. Please enlighten me on SCS, creating hegemony,debt mongering, IP stealing whilst begging for mercy just 70 years on the open seas coming as boat people. Tibet is gone, supporting terrorist in Pakistan and yet holding a million muslims in concentration camps. Laughing stock in western world and you talk about India and Indians.mmm...keep the tune...MasaChingMing

David Toh Oh wow...thanks for the slavery after accepting you guys as boat people...sorry dude...Shall we support the Japanese invasion and go back to the 40's?

Masa Soh Mengming
Sundar Kannan Let me educate you on how much worse India is. Enlighten on me on what happened to Goa, Junagadh, Sikkim, Kashmir and Hyderabad. On how your flithy country intervened in Sri Lankan and Maldivian elections.
Ah yes. If India can bomb Pakistan for a domestic terror incident, China should bomb Dharmasala for instigating riots in Tibet. And maybe the PLA should be sent to Kashmir to resolve the Kashmir dispute like how you sh*t eaters sent troops to resolve the Doklam incident.
The 1962 war happened because you drew lines on the map, claimed China is occupying your territory and threatened to attack Tibet.
As for the SCS and debt woes, continue spinning. Call a territorial dispute an invasion, call holding 10 percent of total debt a debt trap. I suppose the US is in the Chinese debt trap since China holds 10 percent of total US sovereign debt! And what can India do about it even if said propaganda is true? You can't even defeat Pakistan!

There should be check and balance in any government to safe guard the interest of all the citizens. In this case, there are constitutional guidelines for the appointment of a CM for Johore, so all parties should ad-here to what is good for the betterment of all the Johoreans.

Lu Pin - we presumably have the most comprehensive doctrine call "ownself check ownself" which was learnt from a book callef "Best govermance for Dummies". Familar? Yellow color book which casuals buy to learn basic skills and written by commoners.
Ownself also says
1. No blames culture
2. Not enough talents to have 2 parties for a first world country
3. Mee Siam no hum

It is high time Malaysians get rid of this 93 year old snake. Not only quarellsome but a liar as well.

Jacky Way An agreement and endorsed in the UN for water supplies to Singapore for the separation,and at a certain price, is something that both countries have to abide.The validity is till 2061.What happen if a friend of yours agreed and signed an agreement to buy a product from you at $100k,but ended up paying you only $50k and not the full amount?Would you take legal action against him?
Gilbert Yap
Jacky Way , your post just demonstrates how ignorant you are. Perhaps you need more friends; only two friends on your "facebook account" is definitely insufficient!
You need to leave your keyboard and get out of your cave more often. AND if you learnt to listen, maybe you will learn a thing or two...

Lucky Malaysia still has Dr Mahathir or else Malaysia would have gone to the dogs. Remember the long lists of unsolved crimes: 1 MDB; The murder of the Mongolian lady; The disappearance of two pastors; The murder of the state prosecutor and many more. These don't happen in isolation. Each and everyone of it has a link to why it happen that cumulates to the ultimate defeat of Najib. Admittedly, Malaysia has still some unsettled constitutional issues (which should be clarified by the Supreme Court) but with the 1993 admendment to the Constitution of Malaysia that was passed by the Malaysian parliament with the aim of stripping the legal immunity of the royalty, this has clearly paved the way for the monarchy to be subject to the rule of law. Period!

This royalty is grumpy his plan to make Rm 70 billion from the China developer led Forest City project near Tuas has been stopped by the change in M'sian government. His billions from the sale of coastal state land to other China companies is also at stake.
Seems he is losing sight that his Johor Constitution will always play second fiddle to Federal law.

The Sultan and Prince of Johor are very honourable men. They really loves the Johoreans and did their best for them. Singaporeans have very high respect and regards for both of them as they fair and just Rulers. Dr M should leaves them alone and let them continue to do their good jobs.
Jacky Way
Honorable, fair and just men? Don't talk nonsense. As royal, they are not supposed to be directly involved in business but they did it openly. They got huge allowance from the government to act as royal but they branch out to sell the lands to foreigners.
On top, they indulged themselves in politics. Before the last general election, they openly backed the thief Najib to continue as PM so that there is huge kickback from him.
This kind of royal might as well be detroned and abolished.

A royalty that indulges in vulgar displays of their wealth while his people struggles with life is called caring? A royalty that beats up other people is held in high regard? A royalty who continues to engage in politics and think they can pardon themselves for any crime they commit is fair and just?
Nah. You're just displaying "The-enemy-of-my-enemy-is-my-friend syndrome. Your hate for Mahathir is such that you will have high praises for anyone who opposes him, regardless of how vile they are themselves.

After meeting with PM Singapore recently during The Retreat har Dr. Mahathir thinks The Sultan of Johore is like The present of Singapore only holding the Power as The Custodian oof Singapore 'RESERVED WEALTH; THAT CAN BE DRAWN TO TIE OVE ANY EMERGENCIES? Also PM Singapore is the one that govern the daily affairs of Singapore with his team of Ministers/MPs.

Some Singaporeans may dislike old snake. But we should count ourselves lucky because under old snake Malaysia can only go backwards and not forward. At least we still can shine with this stupid neighbor around.
The Sultan is smart and if he transforms johor, johor may challenge singapore in some sector. Like leveraging on cheaper manpower and proximity to Singapore some low end service sector

Wahida Mohamat, believe S'pore is not concerned about positive challenges from Johor but more about unreasonable leaders from M'sia like the vintage Old M who keep harping on unfounded issues to disrupt S'pore's survival.
Trust S'pore can cope with positive challenges from all our neighbours (not just M'sia) to work with them and prosper together.

The new MB needs to have a gift of the gap, one who knows how to please everybody, whatever he says, must be good for all ears.

Go back to school. You must have not read consti law. Rule & Reign are two different words. Tun M rules. His Majesty Sultan reigns.
