Alright, this is what i came across from the net, and i would say i am proudly accepting The newly throned Sultan and duly respect him as a wise leader. Attached will be from the article i lifted:
"His Royal Highness relayed (his concern) to me this morning. He has heard the rumours and is not pleased. He is very concerned.
"Never has Johor issued a directive to force people to wear (clothes for mourning). There is not an iota of truth in the rumours," he said in his office at Istana Besar here.
Rahim also denied rumours of policemen or personnel from the Johor Military Force detaining people who were not wearing the mourning attire.
By tradition, the people are required to mourn the death of rulers for seven days.
Johor adopts a standard mourning attire of songkok with a white band for Muslim men, white veil for Muslim women and black armband on the left arm for non-Muslims. Those wearing uniforms are required to wear the black armband.
Rahim described the nasty rumours as "nonsense" and said those who wished to mourn the late Sultan Iskandar should do it sincerely.
"If Johoreans want to mourn his majesty's death, they should do so out of sincerity, loyalty and love for Almarhum Sultan Iskandar.
"If one does not wish to wear it, one needn't do so. There is no force to do so,"
Thats what a wise leader should do for all his men and people. May him bless with the best of health and prosper for the whole land of Johor.
Alright, i needed to get my car spray painted, but unfortunately, they told me its full up till CNY. Got to search for other alternative now...
Best of luck to everyone...
Bye!
