Muhyiddin: Royals getting along just fine with Harapan
- 5 years ago
The clash between Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Johor Crown Prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim may be viewed by some people as an erosion in the ties between the Pakatan Harapan government and the Malay royalty
However, Home Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said, both Putrajaya and the sultans maintained a good relationship.
"The relationship is good, it is always good... I don't think that just one or two incidents mean that we don't have a good relationship with the rulers," he said in a joint media interview yesterday.
"We acknowledge their role in society and understand the people's respect for the royal institution. As such, Harapan can't differ in its approach from what is the societal norm," Muhyiddin added.
