Johor Ruler: I’m Malaysian first

PETALING JAYA: Known in Malaysia for staunch Bangsa Johor advocacy, Johor Ruler Sultan Ibrahim ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar, however, always identifies as a Malaysian first when abroad.

“If someone asks me where I am from when I’m overseas, I’ll always say, I’m Malaysian,” said Sultan Ibrahim in an interview published in Sin Chew Daily yesterday, following a meeting at the palace in Johor Baru recently.
