PETALING JAYA: A businessman charged with misusing the Kelantanese royal title attempted to stop the media from covering his case, claiming he did not want the news to spoil the coronation of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Muhammad V on Monday.

Tengku Iskandar Tengku Ahmad, 71, is accused of using the title “Yang Maha Mulia” without the consent of the Sultan of Kelantan on a letter of attorney dated Aug 31, 2014, which he signed as “Yang Maha Mulia Tengku Iskandar Tengku Ahmad Panglima Raja”.
