Johor's Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar held an audience with Bersatu Youth leader Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, after Syed Saddiq's open letter questioning the sultan's decree banning street protests in Johor.

Syed Saddiq, a Johorean, said Johor Crown Prince Tunku Ismail Ibrahim was also part of the audience, at Istana Flinstone in Mersing.

"I am honestly touched and humbled that the Tuanku and his family were willing to meet me and spend time with me, an ordinary citizen," he said.
