Since Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak reshuffled the Cabinet, Johor crown prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim has been posting cryptic messages on the state football team’s official Facebook page.

However, his postings are made in relation to football.

"I will never support a person inside FAM or in any organisation that is corrupt.

"Should we continue to throw our support to those who we know are corrupt that just shows how low and undignified we are," read his latest post.

 

Saya tidak akan sekali-kali menyokong seseorang di dalam FAM atau mana-mana organisasi yang korup. Sekiranya kita tetap...

Assuming that his message contained political undertones, one Facebook user requested the crown prince to act instead of making comments alone.

"Kurangkn berckp bykkn tindakan tunku...kerajaan ni telinga diorg dh lali..ayat2 mcm ni diorg dh x ambik port..apakata tunku ajak adun2 johor ni kluar BN..apabila adun2 Johor kluar BN...serta merta najib tumbang," said Hairil Amri.

(Lessen the talk and increase action, your highness. The government's ear is immune to such words and they pay no heed to them. What say if your highness calls on state assemblypersons in Johor to quit BN. If Johor assemblypersons quit BN, Najib will fall immediately)

This response drew more than 200 likes, with the number constantly increasing.

Another user, Neezam Dawam said it would be better to call on MPs from Johor to quit Parliament because Najib can still survive if only state assemblypersons left the coalition.

The biggest casualty of the cabinet reshuffle is Muhyiddin Yassin, who was dropped as deputy prime minister following his critical views on 1MDB

Muhyiddin hails from Johor and is the member of Parliament for Pagoh.

Prior to this, the crown prince posted a purported dialogue between him and a reporter.

Journalist : Do you have any comment on the current state of football or FAM?

TMJ (crown prince) : A drowning man will try to reach and hold on to anything, even faeces.

Journalist : What do you mean by that?

TMJ : It is up to you to figure it out.

Journalist : Is this with regards to football, or other issues?

TMJ : (smiles)... Thank you.

Previously, Tunku Ismail caused a stir when he mocked Najib for turning up at the Nothing to Hide public forum on 1MDB, which then led to a war of words between the crown prince and Tourism Minister Nazri Abdul Aziz.
