JOHOR BARU: Johor's Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar (pic) wants the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to investigate those who tried to bribe him for his endorsement to obtain a title from the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

The outspoken ruler said he was offered RM2mil to suggest the person's name to the Chief Secretary of Malaysia for a "Tan Sri" title.

In a post on official Facebook page on Saturday (March 25), Sultan Ibrahim said he was ready to reveal information pertaining to those trying to buy him over.

"I want MACC to seek an audience with me as soon as possible for this matter to be investigated.

"This is Johor... we have our pride. You cannot buy awards and titles with money," he said.
