KULAIJAYA, May 13 (Bernama) -- The Sultan of Johor, Sultan Ibrahim ibni
Almarhum Sultan Iskandar, today advised the people against ignoring the law when
putting forward their demands to the government.
He said that of late, some people in the country preferred to act in a way
detrimental to security and public order, such as by resorting to street
demonstrations.
"Our country is free and independent, but that does not mean we can do things
at will and break the law," he said at the launch of Kembara Mahkota Johor 2012
at TJ Mart, Saleng. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak flagged off the
programme.
The sultan, who led the annual royal motorcycle convoy, said the street
demonstrations were purely aimed at seeking publicity in the international media
and tarnishing the nation''s image.
"They want to portray our country in a state of chaos," he said when addressing
the thousands of people of all races who attended the flag-off.
