Pandangan TMJ dihormati, jangan jejas keharmonian negara, kata Nur Jazlan

Sabah dan Sarawak akan turut mengikut jejak langkah sekiranya Johor meninggalkan Persekutuan Malaysia, kata Timbalan Menteri Dalam Negeri Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed.

Nur Jazlan yang juga merupakan ahli Parlimen Pulai berkata, meskipun beliau menghormati pandangan Tunku Mahkota Johor Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, usaha untuk menyatukan Malaysia tidak seharusnya dipengaruhi sentimen kenegerian kerana ia bakal memberikan kesan kepada keharmonian negara.

“Kita berjaya membentuk sebuah negara sejak beberapa tahun sebelum ini walaupun penjajah beranggapan kita akan gagal kerana latar belakang kepelbagaian etnik dan agama.

“Hidup dengan harmoni adalah sebahagian daripada kebanggaan Malaysia. Jika ia berlaku, (Johor meninggalkan Malaysia), Sabah dan Sarawak juga berkemungkinan akan mengikut jejak langkah yang sama,” katanya dalam kenyataan itu.

Tunku Mahkota Johor Tunku Ismail Ibrahim sebelum ini dilaporkan berkata, semua negeri termasuk Johor mempunyai hak untuk menarik diri daripada Malaysia jika mana-mana terma dalam perjanjian antara Johor dan Persekutuan Tanah Melayu tidak dipatuhi.

Dalam satu temu bual bersama laman sesawang sukan FourthOfficial.com, Tunku Mahkota Johor itu berkata kenyataannya mungkin akan disifatkan menghasut namun beliau lebih bimbang dan mengutamakan rakyat negeri itu.

"Saya akan menjadi Sultan pada masa depan dan tanggungjawab utama saya ialah kepada rakyat Johor.

"Malaysia sangat penting kepada saya, tetapi Johor dan JDT keutamaan saya," katanya. 

"Bertahun kita hidup aman dan bebas. Malah, kita hanya menyertai Persekutuan Tanah Melayu, apabila kedua-dua pihak bersetuju dengan beberapa syarat-syarat asas.

"Dan jika mana-mana terma itu dilanggar, kita ada hak untuk menarik diri daripada negara ini.

"Anda boleh menuduh saya menghasut sentimen kenegerian, tapi saya hanya menjalankan tugas saya kepada rakyat Johor, dan mengingatkan mereka tentang sejarah dan warisan tanah yang besar ini. "

Jun lalu, adindanya Tunku Idris Sultan Ibrahim mencetuskan kontroversi apabila memuat naik tulisan berkaitan perjanjian bersama dengan Persekutuan Tanah Melayu.

Dalam status di Instagram yang sudah dipadam antaranya menyebut Johor bersetuju menandatangani perjanjian 1946 itu dengan mengenakan beberapa syarat.

Perjanjian itu termasuk Islam menjadi agama negeri, air dan tanah negeri menjadi hak mutlak Johor serta askar timbalan setia tidak boleh dibubarkan.

Tunku Idris juga tidak terkecuali mengkritik Putrajaya selain bapanya Sultan Johor yang menggesa kerajaan menyelesaikan masalah ekonomi negara dan penyusutan nilai ringgit. – 18 Oktober, 2015.

Nur Jazlan says respects Johor crown prince’s views but don’t undermine harmony

If Johor leaves Malaysia, Borneo states Sarawak and Sabah may want to follow suit, Deputy Home Minister Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed said, The Sunday Star reported today.

Responding to Johor crown prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, who warned that Johor had every right to secede from the country if any of the terms in the agreement between Johor and the Federation of Malaya were breached, Nur Jazlan said he respected the prince’s personal view.

However, the Pulai lawmaker said 60 years of effort to unite Malaysia should not be hampered by state-based sentiments, which could jeopardise the country’s harmony.

He said the country’s struggle to ensure continuous unity and development should not go in vain, and that Malaysia had proven its former colonisers wrong as the nation had stood united despite racial and cultural differences.

“We have managed to develop as a nation over the years despite our former colonisers predicting that we would fail because of our multi-ethnicity and multi-religious background.

“Living harmoniously is part of Malaysia’s pride. If such a thing happens (Johor secedes), even Sabah and Sarawak might want to follow Johor’s footsteps,” he was quoted as saying in the English daily's report.

It was reported on Friday that during an interview with sports website FourthOfficial.com, Tunku Ismail said his views might be seen as instigating state-based sentiments, but his main concern was the people of Johor.

“I am going to be the future sultan of this state and my main responsibility is towards the people of Johor. Malaysia is important to me, but Johor and JDT will always come first,” he was quoted as saying.

“People deserve to know, that the mess we have in the country right now, should in no way be associated with the Johor royal family. Over the years, we’ve always been strong and independent as well as resourceful. In fact, we only joined the Federation of Malaya, upon both parties agreeing to several basic terms.

“And if any of those terms are breached, we have every right to secede from this country. You can accuse me of instigating state-based sentiments, but to me, I’m merely doing my duty to the people of Johor, and reminding them of the history and heritage behind this great land.”

In June, Tunku Ismail’s younger brother Tunku Idris Sultan Ibrahim created a stir after he posted a warning that Johor may secede from Malaysia on his Instagram account. The posting has since been deleted. – October 18, 2015.

Johor has every right to secede from Malaysia, says crown prince

Johor crown prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim has warned that the state has every right to secede from the country if any of the terms in the agreement between Johor and the Federation of Malaya are breached.

In an interview with sports website FourthOfficial.com, the crown prince said that his views might be seen as instigating state-based sentiments, but his main concern was the people of Johor.

"I am going to be the future Sultan of this state and my main responsibility is towards the people of Johor. Malaysia is important to me, but Johor and JDT will always come first," he was quoted as saying.

"People deserve to know, that the mess we have in the country right now, should in no way be associated to the Johor royal family. Over the years, we’ve always been strong and independent as well as resourceful. In fact, we only joined the Federation of Malaya, upon both parties agreeing to several basic terms.

"And if any of those terms are breached, we have every right to secede from this country. You can accuse me of instigating state-based sentiments, but to me, I’m merely doing my duty to the people of Johor, and reminding them of the history and heritage behind this great land."

In June, Tunku Ismail's younger brother Tunku Idris Sultan Ibrahim created a stir after he posted a warning that Johor may secede from Malaysia, on his Instagram account.

In the posting which has since been deleted, the prince said the state joined the Federation in 1946 on a few conditions, including making Islam the religion of the state, Johor's absolute right over its water and land, and the state royalty would be allowed to have its own armed forces.

Tunku Ismail is no stranger to bluntness, having been critical of Putrajaya, along with his father the Johor sultan who recently urged the government to solve the country's economic woes and the declining value of the ringgit.

Several months ago, Tunku Ismail got into a spat with Tourism and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Nazri Abdul Aziz over his criticism of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's non-appearance at the Nothing2Hide forum.

He had also admonished Umno supreme council member Datuk Mohd Puad Zarkashi for saying relations between the prime minister and the Johor palace were good. Tunku Ismail said Puad should not make statements without knowing what took place.

In the interview with FourthOfficial.com, where Tunku Ismail had mostly talked about football, the Johor team Southern Tigers and his plans for the sport, the crown prince listed his father and former Cuban president Fidel Castro as his idols.

"He may be a communist, but I respect the fact that he stood for the principles he believed in," the crown prince said, referring to Castro. – October 16, 2015.
