INTERESTING FACTS | HISTORY OF JOHOR | THE GENEROSITY OF SULTAN ISKANDAR WON THE HEARTS OF JOHOREANS

FAKTA MENARIK | SEJARAH NEGERI JOHOR | KEMURAHAN HATI SULTAN ISKANDAR MENAMBAT HATI RAKYAT JOHOR
Sejak lebih 100 tahun dahulu, Kesultanan Johor telah mendermakan gaji sebagai Sultan yang diperuntukkan oleh kerajaan negeri Johor kepada Bangsa Johor yang memerlukan. Malah, Sultan Iskandar Al-Haj Ibni Almarhum Sultan Ismail Al-Khalidi turut mendermakan kesemua gaji dan elaun yang diterima oleh baginda daripada Kerajaan Persekutuan selaku Yang Di-Pertuan Agong kepada Yayasan Sultan Iskandar.
Sultan Iskandar amat mengambil berat tentang kebajikan setiap rakyatnya. Bukan sesuatu perkara yang janggal apabila dikatakan baginda sering mengenepikan protokol istana demi perhubungan erat istana dengan pelbagai lapisan dan taraf hidup rakyat di segenap pelusuk negeri Johor. Baginda seringkali mendermakan duit yang banyak sebagai sedekah kepada rakyat jelata sewaktu solat Jumaat.
Setiap lapisan masyarakat mendapat tempat istimewa di hati baginda malah baginda juga sering meninjau kemajuan kampung-kampung dan turut terkejut dengan sumbangan peribadi secara spontan dalam pelbagai bentuk kepada penduduk-penduduk kampung. Selain itu, baginda juga seringkali memberikan sumbangan peribadi kepada fakir miskin setiap kali melawat daerah-daerah negeri Johor dan ia tidak tertumpu hanya apabila melibatkan acara rasmi sahaja.
Sifat pemurah baginda amat menambat hati rakyat Johor dan ianya menjadi ikutan turun-temurun Sultan Johor dan Tunku Mahkota Johor. Sifat keperibadian ini sebenarnya adalah didikan awal setiap bakal pewaris takhta Kesultanan Johor sejak Kerajaan Johor Moden terbentuk. Allah Peliharakan Sultan.

INTERESTING FACTS | HISTORY OF JOHOR | THE GENEROSITY OF SULTAN ISKANDAR WON THE HEARTS OF JOHOREANS
Since more than 100 years ago, the Johor Sultanate has donated the Sultan's salary allocated by the Johor state government for Bangsa Johor in need. In fact, Sultan Iskandar Al-Haj Ibni Almarhum Sultan Ismail Al-Khalidi also donated all of His Majesty's salary and allowances from the Federal Government as the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong to the Sultan Iskandar Foundation.
Sultan Iskandar also cared deeply about the welfare of the people. It was not rare that His Majesty often ignored palace protocols for the sake of the palace's close ties with people from all walks of life in Johor. His Majesty often donated money as charity during Friday prayers.
The society had a special place in His Majesty's heart, with His Majesty often taking personal interest in the development of villages, and they were also surprised by His Majesty's spontaneous personal contributions in various forms to villagers. Besides that, His Majesty often gave personal donations to poor Muslims every time visiting Johor districts, which was not limited to just during official functions.
His Majesty's generosity touched the Johor people's hearts and it has since been practised by future Johor sultans and crown princes. The kind personality is actually something taught from an early age to all Johor Sultanate heirs since the Modern Johor government was founded. Allah Peliharakan Sultan.
