'What is the worst that could happen?': TMJ reveals secret to composure amid scrutiny

SHAH ALAM – Johor’s Crown Prince, Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim (TMJ) says he remains completely calm amid ongoing issues, emphasising that nothing worries him as long as he holds to his principles, priorities and faith in Allah.

In an Instagram post addressing the public’s curiosity about how he managed to stay composed despite the ongoing scrutiny and criticism, he described that calmness comes from knowing what truly matters.

He shared that his guiding compass lies in his own beliefs.

“Recently, many people asked me, how can I remain so calm with everything that is happening? My answer is, what is the worst that could happen?

“I am not worried about anything. I have my own priorities and principles that are far more important than people who speak nonsense. The day someone can come and snatch the coffee from my hand is the day I should actually be worried," he said.

The Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) Football Club owner added that his inner strength stems largely from his faith and complete reliance on Allah.

Despite years of dealing with doubt, hatred and smear campaigns, he said he continues to rise above them.

“Understand this, haters or those who lose move in groups. Only the strong walk alone.

“They hate you because you survived everything that was meant to break your spirit, and you are still standing strong. Strength like that frightens the weak," he said.

He also reflected that every challenge he encountered is part of Allah’s decree and forms an essential part of his journey.

“In the end, everything will end, people change and life goes on. Because some of us are not destined to be ordinary.

“We are born to achieve greatness, responsibility, and to endure challenges, again and again. Every challenge shapes a legacy.

“Every battle has been won before it is fought. Even if I lose, I win. It has been written. It is destiny,” he said.
