SEGAMAT: Johor Menteri Besar Abdul Ghani Othman said that dragging the Sultan of Johor, Sultan Ibrahim, into a political party campaign is going overboard and described it as an extreme act. He said such acts had never been done before and hoped that the police would initiate immediate investigation to identify the people involved.
"This is something that has never been done before where Duli Yang Maha Mulia Sultan Johor is dragged into a political party campaign. It's certainly improper for them to involve the palace," he said during a working visit to the Sekijang parliamentary constituency, here today.
In his speech at the conclusion of the “Kembara Mahkota Johor Bermotosikal 2010” in Kota Tinggi, yesterday, Sultan Ibrahim expressed his displeasure over the use of his photograph by a political party in a banner at a ceramah in Batu Pahat, recently.
The banner also expressed support for Johor PKR chairman, Chua Jui Meng, as the candidate for the post of Johor Menteri Besar should the Pakatan Rakyat win the next general election.
Commenting on the allegation that the banner was prepared by Umno people, Ghani said the allegation was unfounded because it was not Umno practice to do so.
"Nobody will do it. We have never practised such politics. What we know is that Pakatan held a meeting at that time and the banner was put up," he added.
