Tensed PPBM meeting over Johor exco line-up ends with solidarity for Dr M

Senior PPBM leaders are behind Dr Mahathir Mohamad in his recent tiff with the Johor palace over the state line-up.

The meeting, which a source describes as “very heated and tensed”, was called at short notice on the back of concerns that the new line-up was never approved by PPBM. The new line-up includes three new members, while two others were removed, in addition to changes in portfolio titles. This followed an assault incident involving a hockey coach and the then ruler, Sultan Iskandar Sultan Ismail. Following weeks of standoff, the amendment finally got royal consent, and a special court was established to try members of the royalty.

At the meeting yesterday, PPBM leaders gave their full support to Mahathir’s recent remarks on the need for members of the royalty to abide by the rule of law. That view reflects Mahathir’s response to statements by the Johor crown prince warning the veteran leader against interfering in matters of appointing the menteri besar, after the post was left vacant by the resignation of Osman Sapian.
