Mohamad Sabu Allegedly Made Remarks Critical of Unspecified "Other Party" in Elections

The Prime Minister clarified his own positive relationship with the Regent of Johor (TMJ), Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, and urged against escalating tensions by involving the royal institution in political matters.

He emphasized that competition should be strictly between political parties, without the presence of any "other party" that PH could not compete against, as this would undermine democratic practice in the country.
Prime Minister's Call to Exclude Royalty from Elections

He made these remarks when commenting on the situation involving Mohamad Sabu and the alleged veiled statement against TMJ.
Anwar's Relationship with TMJ and Plea for Calm

Concerns Over Interference in Democratic System

Mohamad Sabu also reportedly stated that such "interference" should not be allowed to alter Malaysia’s democratic system for political or individual interests. He added that the country’s democratic system must be preserved by allowing political parties to compete fairly, regardless of whether they aim to form the government or serve in the opposition.
