MUAR: Johor Ruler Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar (pic) chided a former prime minister, saying he will not interfere with Tunku Mahkota Johor if and when he hands over the throne to his son. "I will not interfere or criticise the new Sultan, and you must accept the new Sultan and follow his decrees. Sultan Ibrahim said he had noticed politicians playing up several issues, and this could mean that the general election is just around the corner. In apparent reference to Dr Mahathir, Sultan Ibrahim said "this politician" had forgotten, or become senile because of his advanced age, that his era is over. "Before this, the state government had no money to pay salaries of civil servants but now, Johor has billions in reserve.
