A prominent Johor politician told The Third Force that the recent reshuffle of the Johor state executive council by Dato’ Dr Shahruddin Jamal, the newly appointed Menteri Besar, was at the behest of the ruler of Johor, Sultan Ibrahim Ismail Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar Al-Haj.
Mahathir knows that the Johor state Legislative Assembly has complete jurisdiction over land related matters and wants a Menteri Besar who will allow him to use state-owned land as a bargaining chip to ‘soften’ the Singaporean government’s stance on prospects of building a crooked bridge.
