PUTRAJAYA: Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman claims that Tunku Mahkota Johor Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim had made some demands that made him “uncomfortable”.

The Youth and Sports Minister said he was once close to the Johor Crown Prince, but their relationship soured when Tunku Ismail made those demands.“But before the election, there were some specific demands that he made that I couldn't fulfil. The demands were political in nature, and made me immensely uncomfortable.“If you remember, the day I announced my candidacy in Muar was the day he wrote the open letter asking Johoreans not to ‘change ship’.

He said that one of the demands Tunku Ismail made was for a high-profile boxing match featuring Manny Pacquiao on July 15 last year to be cancelled. “There were demands for a last-minute cancellation, which would have caused a diplomatic crisis because six ministers from the Philippines had been invited over .

The minister said that while he respects Tunku Ismail as a member of the royalty, his priority would always be towards the rakyat.

Wondering why TMJ want the fight to be cancelled.

I love them both! Both are our assets! For future!

winter is coming

Asakamualikum TMJ TO UTUS SALAM TUMB IBRAHIM OK

Not taking sides...SS ..pls post ur short term n long terms Planning as a Minister..N you're a cry baby...Vying for Publicity... Charisma.. you've none...Look at urself bfor Blamed...PH traits... Blame.. U-turn..

What ever crop up between both of you doesn't benefit the rakyat as whole.. rakyat only interested to know what sort of things implemented by you that can help the rakyat and country to progress well.

Thanks for sharing your story. Not many people would. You will do well if you serve the people of Malaysia and not the interests of a few.

YB, who cares about him ? 13 states are behind you except the southern one, we are 💯% behind you, always Malaysia first. Well done YB 👍👍👍

The demands look like self interest, you done good by standing on yr principle

On the left currently on rampant action to 'wall up' his critics. How come? Facing serious paranoia syndrome in Twitter ? Many tweets mentions which stated they been walled up by him even though not his followers...ummmm...very strange 🙄🤔🤨

Thank you YB SyedSaddiq I always believe you meant for something far more greater that current minister post. We need more new generation like you to veer our country toward clean and just government

Integrity & Principle vs Greed & Arrogance; I'm with you all the way SyedSaddiq.

We knew it...will support you all the way...SyedSaddiq

It is rediculous and absurd to demand the cancellation of the international boxing event. This is a classic case of royal interference in the democratically elected government. TMJ should know his place as the Crown Prince of Johor.

Madey anto saddiq plak lwn tmj..saddiq must proof his loyalty

A demon in me wants this privilege unelected brat to provoke Saddiq more so that he will spill what kind of demands especially the business thingy apart from the manny tournament. Spill more

Why suddenly he brought up this old issue? As if we care.

Respect to Syed Saddiq.

All This royals do they care about people .. have they care about people.. n Why are we need to care about their demand..they are rich we still poor..

SyedSaddiq Well done young man. At no time should anyone other than the democratically elected government interfere.

This fella is a born loser. Don’t waste time on him

Handsome and the Beast

Wah the Photo used by shows stark difference btw the Right and the Left person. I am sure TMJ won't b happy with The Star for this photo.

Permintaan lanun mmg suma nya bangang. Jangan layan, nama pun lanun

I reckon TMJ will defer and be defensive. The new problem begins! Later it’s will tied to madey kuncu! Not again please

Why even this article? Like a lovers' quarrel...

You have no one to fear except Tun. Just admit it. Lol, rakyat my ass.

Gud..stand to yr principal Rakyaat come first.. welldone

2 x 5

teamsaddiq SyedSaddiq that match initiated by a group of youth from Johor HRHJohorII correct me if I’m wrong

Well done SyedSaddiq Put rakyat as no 1 priority to benefit, fear & do everything for Allah, then you have nothing to fear.

Expected. How can one be so afraid of an international statute? 😂😂😂

a bad try to discredit tmj

SyedSaddiq , we are & always be at your back.

This kid perasan he's so important meh? How can demand to cancel Boxing match made before GE? Siput Sedut already know he'll be in KBS?

Syed Saddiq, you must stand by your principle. UMNO members are waiting to discredit you if you backtrack what you said earlier. TMJ is not pressured to serve the people of the whole of Malaysia. He don't need to stand for election.

Haha the timing... Just when the foreign minister brought up Rome Statue again.. Hehe

SyedSaddiq Never Kiss and Tell - only shows immaturity
