Weathering the storm


Crisis averted: Utusan Malaysia took the lead in highlighting a Bill that had raised questions about the constitutional role of the Sultan (top right), prompting Khaled (left) to amend the enactment.

For a while it looked like Johor was heading into a constitutional crisis but the storm has passed thanks to a daring Malay newspaper, the groundswell of public opinion and a Mentri Besar who was willing to listen.

IT was one of the biggest political storms to have blown over Johor and it all began with the stunning frontpage report in Utusan Malaysia.
