“The Johor crown prince has been appointed as the regent starting today. I want to rest for a while," said Sultan Ibrahim after officiating at the second Johor state assembly meeting on Thursday (Jun 16).
Last week, Tunku Ismail announced that he was stepping back from the day-to-day running of the football club he owns, Johor Darul Ta’zim. "Due to my other responsibilities and commitments, I have decided to take a step back and hand over the control of JDT FC to the top management of the club.
"I wish the club and everyone all the best," he wrote in a post on the Johor Southern Tigers Facebook page.
Based on a rotation system among nine royal households in Malaysia, the Johor sultan is in line to become the next king.
The current king, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah of Pahang, was appointed in July 2019.
