Dr M’s strange apology

Stern rebuke: Sultan Ibrahim gave Dr Mahathir a stern rebuke for criticising ‘Bangsa Johor’.

It’s not clear whether he was saying sorry to the Malay Rulers or the rakyat. Probably, he was apologising to himself.

TUN Dr Mahathir Mohamad apologised for the actions he took years ago to amend the Constitution, curtailing the role of royalty in Malaysia. On the same day he apologised, he was censured by the Sultan of Johor, Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar, for criticising “Bangsa Johor”.
