Wah.Malaysia full of interesting story...Now the the Royal Bowl between NS and Johor Royal Family
THE RAJA MUDA OF JOHOR (PIC): Allegedly involved in the assault incident
TUNKU Dara Naquiah Tuanku Ja’afar, the eldest daughter of the late Yang di-Pertuan Besar Negri Sembilan, Tuanku Ja’afar Tuanku Abdul Rahman, denied rumours that the family had demanded a RM100 million monetary settlement from the family of the Raja Muda of Johor, Tunku Ismail Idris Abdul Majid Abu Bakar Iskandar Tunku Ibrahim over the latter's alleged “vicious assault” and abduction of her son in a hotel on Oct 25th last year as “my son's life is priceless”.
However, she said the law firm representing the family had sent a “lawyer to lawyer” letter of demand, dated Dec 10, 2008, seeking compensation to the tune of RM50 million but that letter was never responded to.
Tunku Dara Naquiah said she had contacted the Attorney General (A-G) Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail and he had suggested that the matter be settled out of court, but she had told him, “my son’s life is priceless.”
She said the A-G assured the family of a fair investigation but there has been no news from the police so far.
The A-G has denied that nothing is being done by the police and the A-G's chambers (see accompanying
story).
She said the reason the family waited 11 months before holding a press conference was because of her father's death and her son’s wedding and also because the family had been waiting for action to be taken by the police.
Tunku Dara Naquiah claimed she was assured by the police the documents had been handed over to the
Attorney-General’s chambers.
“I actually want justice to be done and that's why I am here.” When asked if there had been any contact between the two royal families since the incident, Tunku Dara Naquiah claimed Tunku Ismail’s parents had contacted her on the day of the incident to apologise “in not so many ways”, over what their son had done to Tunku Nadzimuddin.
It was emphasised that there had been no communication between Tunku Ismail and Tunku Nadzimuddin
prior to the incident and that the younger Tunku Ismail was not even personally known to Tunku Nadzimuddin.
Tunku Nadzimuddin said the day of the incident was the first time he had gone out in over a year as he had
been undergoing treatment for Hodgkins Lymphoma, from which he has since recovered.
“I also want to express my disappointment with the Royal Malaysian Police force...over what I can only conclude to be their serious lack of affirmative action in the investigations into this incident.
“Police had assured their probe would be carried out without fear or favour. I was further assured that no one was above the law and the assailants would be produced in court to face charges. However, I am today bewildered and shocked to learn otherwise,” he said.
Malay Mail had first highlighted the incident in late October last year in which we reported the Negeri Sembilan prince was allegedly assaulted in the lift at the lobby of a five-star hotel in Kuala Lumpur up to the 25th floor, when he was held in a room there by a member of the Johor royal family and his bodyguards.
The incident followed an earlier dispute at a trendy club in the Asian Heritage Row.
