'Opposition' no more, it's now called 'balancing force' in Johor assembly

ISKANDAR PUTERI: The Johor state assembly will officially stop using the term “Opposition” to describe assemblymen who are not in the ruling coalition.

State Speaker Datuk Dr Mohd Puad Zarkashi said this was in line with Johor Ruler Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar’s decree for the term to be re-examined when His Majesty opened the current session on Thursday (March 16).
