Flashback
AN extortion attempt.



That’s what the family of the Raja Muda of Johor, Tunku Ismail Idris Abdul Majid Abu Bakar Iskandar Tunku Ibrahim, thinks of the RM50 million Negri Sembilan’s Tunku Dara Naquiah demanded as compensation for a “vicious assault” on her son last October.

The Johor royal house is expected to issue a formal statement this week but Malay Mail can confirm that Tunku Ismail’s family will not be entertaining the claims made by Tunku Dara Naquiah.

The demand was made in a letter of demand dated Dec 10, 2008, sent by lawyers representing Tunku Dara Naquiah, the eldest daughter of the late Yang di-Pertuan Besar Negri Sembilan, Tuanku Ja’afar Tuanku Abdul Rahman, and mother to Tunku Nadzimuddin, 37.

A source close to the Johor royal family told Malay Mail the family feels that the RM50 million claim was “pure extortion”, “unreasonable” and should not be entertained. This was why the “lawyer to-lawyer” claim was not responded to.

“Both parties’ lawyers have communicated on the demand and the Johor royalty has decided not to respond to the claims so as not to deteriorate the situation further,” the source said.

The source added that Tunku Ismail would counter every claim made during the Press conference last Friday
by Tunku Dara Naquiah and her son on the “vicious assault” that took place nearly a year ago.

At her Press conference, Tunku Dara Naquiah denied that her family had demanded RM100 million from the
family of Tunku Ismail as a settlement for the “assault”.

She, however, admitted that the law firm representing the family had sent a “lawyer-to-lawyer” letter of demand for RM50 million as compensation but that the Johor royal family did not respond to the demand.

Tunku Dara Naquiah also said it was Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail who had suggested that the matter be settled out of court. The A-G subsequently denied the claim.

Malay Mail first highlighted the incident in late October last year, in which we reported an assault in a five-star hotel's lobby lift in Kuala Lumpur involving Tunku Ismail and Tunku Nadzimuddin, several bodyguards and a group of clubbing buddies.

The incident followed an earlier dispute at a trendy club at the Asian Heritage Row.

wadafak 50million for assault?

Dont play2 with BUGIS blood royalty..

Tunku Ismail is groomed to be future king of Johore and the 3rd class NS royal is a rojak royal..

johor lagi............

im chinese, and i dont think should abolish the raja. its actually kinda unique and like a living history to the country, so its fair to preserve the raja system.. although it is kinda opposed with capitalism economy.

lets just say both need to stay in place somehow..

It's too bad you can't say anything else for fear of being accused of "sedition".
