Beaming with pride, Johor Ruler Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar said he was very pleased with the achievements of his two youngest sons.
“We didn’t only create history on the national stage with the Malaysia Games (Sukma), but my sons also flew the Johor flag high on the international arena,” said His Majesty.
“I would like to congratulate them both on a job well done this season. To Iman (Tunku Panglima), keep up the good work and to Boo (Tunku Putera), try and overtake your brother next season!” His Majesty jokingly added.
