The Sultan of Johor has called on Malay leaders to step back from power struggles that “will eventually cause Malays to be divided and weak”.

Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar said in a “message for Johor Malays” that Malaysia’s majority community are being dragged into “crisis of credibility that is damaging the image and faith in institutions led by Malays”.

“The fragmentation of Malay political parties is probably at its severest today,” S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies‘ senior fellow Johan Saravanamuttu told The Straits Times.
