JOHOR’s Sultan Ibrahim Almarhum Sultan Iskandar has decreed he would not grant any audiences until his inauguration as Yang di-Pertuan Agong on January 31.

His Majesty said previously scheduled events and weekly audiences with the Johor menteri besar and the state government would go ahead.

“From today, until I take my oath as Yang di-Pertuan Agong, I will not be accepting any more requests for an audience with me.

“During this time, I wish to spend quality time with my family before undertaking this enormous responsibility and trust,” the Royal Press Office reported the ruler as saying on Facebook today.
