KUALA LUMPUR • Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad's rocky relationship with Johor's royal family has been laid bare once again after he reminded the southern state's Crown Prince, Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, that the latter's post was"not permanent".

Dr Mahathir was likely referring to the late Sultan Iskandar Sultan Ismail of Johor, the Crown Prince's grandfather, who in 1961 lost his status over alleged misbehaviour, and was replaced by his younger brother. Sultan Iskandar was later reinstated as the crown prince by his father in 1981. In an Instagram story, the prince posted a black and white picture of himself in formal dress, with the caption"I'm running #PRU15", using the hashtag for the next elections. At the time of writing, the post - which has a 24-hour shelf life - was no longer available.A crown prince can be changed. Only the people can change the prime minister, not just anybody or someone who thinks he is big... He thinks he is someone big, but he is just a small fry.

In the video, Tunku Ismail was seen leaving Stadium Larkin in Johor after a football match in which Johor Darul Ta'zim went down 0-1 to Shandong Luneng in the AFC Champions League last Wednesday.
