'In keeping with the Johor State Constitution 1895, the Sultan?s heir, Tunku Ibrahim Ismail Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar, is hereby proclaimed as the King and Sultan under the same law,' Mr Abdul Ghani said.
Soon after the proclamation, Tunku Ibrahim Ismail, 51, took his oath as the Sultan of Johor and pledged to rule with fairness, justice and compassion. Donning a white Baju Melayu, the new ruler also pledged to respect and protect Islam and Malay customs and to be steadfast in upholding the Johor State Constitution 1895 as well as the laws of the state of Johor.
