One fan shouted"change Mora", referring to Johor Darul Ta'zim's coach Benjamin Mora, reported the Malay Mail.

Tunku Ismail then stuck his head out of the car window and said:"Instead of changing Mora, it's better to change the prime minister." In a separate development, former Menteri Besar Osman Sapian will not helm Johor Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia for much longer, with his replacement to be named after Hari Raya, The Star reported.

Its media director, Mr Mohd Solihan Badri, said his replacement had already been selected but declined to say who it was. "The official announcement will be made by... Mr Muhyiddin Yassin, who is also party president, after the Hari Raya Aidilfitri holidays and before party elections," he added. He also refuted a report by a Malay daily on Saturday which claimed that Tebrau Bersatu division chief Mazlan Bujang would take over the post after getting support from Johor division heads at a meeting.
