BATU PAHAT: Johor Ruler Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar has been awarded an honorary PhD in mechanical engineering technology by Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM).

The award is in recognition of the contribution and excellence of His Majesty’s leadership to UTHM, the people of Johor and the country.

Tunku Mahkota Johor Tunku Ismail Ibni Sultan Ibrahim, who was also UTHM chancellor, presented the honorary PhD during the university's 23rd convocation ceremony held at Dewan Sultan Ibrahim in UTHM Batu Pahat campus here on Saturday (Dec 2).

Also present at the ceremony was Permaisuri Johor Raja Zarith Sofiah Binti Almarhum Sultan Idris Shah.
