Johor Crown Prince tones down 'reprimand' on Xavier, attacks Kadir Jasin instead


PETALING JAYA: The Johor Crown Prince (Tunku Mahkota Johor or TMJ) says he respects the right of a Dr Xavier Jayakumar to speak up about the Pulau Kukup issue as a minister but blasted bloggger Datuk A. Kadir Jasin for being "more vocal" on this issue and a "coward" for allegedly hiding being cybertroopers.

"I respect Dr Xavier as a Minister but I would suggest that in the future, perhaps he could work closely with the state," he said on his Twitter account late Sunday night (Dec 9).
