Recently, a video went viral on social media showing a Ford GT belonging to the Johor royal family being driven around Kuala Lumpur. While it is known the Johor royal family has an impressive car collection, what was interesting in the video was a liveried R35 Nissan GT-R serving as an escort car to the supercar, which some netizens claimed was bought using government funds.
However, Tunku Temenggong Johor (TTJ) Tunku Idris Iskandar Ibni Sultan Ibrahim has dismissed such claims via several postings on Instagram. According to TTJ, the GT-R police escort car was a birthday gift from him to his father and current DYMM Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar nine years ago.
“Relax kids. I bought that car for Tuanku” was the caption accompanying one of TTJ’s postings, which also included a photo of the car being prepared for its livery. In his final post, he reminded everyone not to create slander.
This isn’t the first time this GT-R went viral on the internet. In 2015, the car with the registration ‘JZ 42’ also made the rounds on Facebook.

Out of all royal family from different states, the johor royal family is the least classy. So desperate for rakyat attention and engagement
Ada wang ada amoi
Lookup Johor civil war and you’ll understand why

Royalty stinks.
I think monarchs car purchase are tax exempt but maybe someone can confirm. Or tax exempt for maybe one or two cars per year.
Yang duk memfitnah pun puak B40. Pantang tengok orang senang. Asyik nak salahkan orang lain je. Dari buang masa duk dengki mengumpat kat socmed, baik korang cari kerja gaji tinggi. Payah nak menjawab dosa kat akhirat nanti
Yang dislike tu mesti B40
Memang pun, kita B40 mana boleh kalah orang lain. Orang lain kaya, mestilah bukan salah aku
Aku kaya, salah kau ke salah aku?
Kau miskin, salah aku ke salah kau?
geng2 aurizn mmg semua mat kereta b40 je
So nice and noble of you to generalize B40s like that
syhhh. tido di rumah lg selesa dari tido di lokap.
he is the royalty.. he has his own fortune. what so weird about him having expensive cars.. just like your employer that you are working with, he eventually will have better car.. or more money than you. why the slander? nowadays, people are obsessed with negative words/comments, ever since it’s used in political campaign.. this negative things easily burns and spread. spreading evil thoughts without you noticing, and finally yourself has join the evil.. so ‘buat baik berpada pada, buat jahat jangan sekali’.
This current gomen is built on slander & lies. When such acts pays big time then rakyat will heed and follow the acts of these PH mentris.
before royal driving in common streets, please can inform all Rakyat in advance? We worry kena punch by escorts/bodyguards for no reason.
It is indeed was purchased & gifted by Tuknu Idris to Johor Police as Sultan personal escorts.
The question they should ask is, does it being maintained by themselves or PDRM?
