KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 24 — Johor Ruler Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar accused Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin today of trying to claim credit for Malaysia’s win against Singapore in the SEA Games polo tournament.
It is unclear as to what had prompted his salvo against the Umno Youth chief, but the Johor ruler took to Facebook to slam the federal minister, accusing him of ordering a player to fake injury so he could play at the last minute and appear as the leading man of the moment.
“Today they played against Singapore. When the team was already winning, he came on and asked the performing player to pretend to be injured,” Sultan Ibrahim wrote on the Johor Southern Tigers Facebook page, the official page of the state’s main football club Johor Darul Takzim.
“So there’s a photo of him in the team to be featured in the print media and spread the propaganda to cheat people as if he was victorious and reliable,” he added.
This is the first time the Johor sultan publicly blasted Khairy, who had also been the subject of criticism by his son and Crown Prince, Tunku Ismail Idris.

Aiseh dan ampun tuanku, your royal highness, why would you want to get yourself involve with politicians. You might be right (or otherwise), but a royal in our nation with a hierarchy of constitutional monarchy doesn't get his feet muddied with grubby politics.
You might be popular today if you go against a minister of the government but recall, when you dad was in reign, the government was far more popular, especially when Mahathir extracted a royal's fangs.
It's not worth your while, ampun tuanku.
