INTERESTING FACTS | HISTORY OF JOHOR | MOTORCYCLING PASSION BRINGS JOHOR ROYAL FAMILY AND PEOPLE CLOSER TOGETHER

FAKTA MENARIK | SEJARAH NEGERI JOHOR | KEGEMARAN BERMOTOSIKAL ERATKAN HUBUNGAN KERABAT DIRAJA JOHOR DENGAN RAKYAT
Sultan Johor sejak dahulu lagi terkenal akan kebijaksanaannya dalam mengambil ruang terhadap sesuatu perkara demi menyatukan rakyat Johor. Kegemaran bermotosikal yang diinspirasikan sejak zaman Sultan Iskandar menyaksikan rakyat Johor kerap melihat baginda melawat sendiri sekitar Johor menunggang motosikal melakukan lawatan mengejut ke pejabat-pejabat dan jabatan kerajaan negeri.
Sultan Iskandar bukan sahaja cekap menunggang motosikal berkuasa tinggi di atas jalan raya dan litar malah baginda juga mahir menyelenggara, membuka dan memasang balik bahagian-bahagian kenderaan tersebut. Ini kerana baginda amat berpengetahuan dalam kejuruteraan teknikal.
Idea Kembara Mahkota Johor yang diilhamkan oleh DYMM Sultan Ibrahim hasil cetusan idea ayahanda baginda turut menyaksikan penggunaan motosikal berkuasa besar menjelajah seluruh pelusuk negeri Johor bagi bertemu, mendengar dan mengambil tindakan terhadap aduan serta masalah yang dihadapi oleh rakyat.
Menjadi rutin harian DYMM Sultan Ibrahim akan bermotosikal ‘kapcai’ menyantun pekerja-pekerja sekeliling istana dan kadangkala keluar daripada pagar istana hanya untuk menyapa rakyat yang kebetulan berada di kawasan tersebut. DYAM Mejar Jeneral Tunku Ismail Ibni Sultan Ibrahim, Tunku Mahkota Johor berkongsi minat dan kegemaran yang sama seperti nenda dan ayahanda baginda.
DYAM Tunku Mahkota Johor juga seringkali memanfaatkan peluang menjalankan tugas baginda dengan bermotosikal seperti menghadiri mesyuarat atau perjumpaan bersama rakyat. Malah menjadi perkara biasa bagi rakyat melihat baginda bermotosikal menunaikan solat di Masjid Pasir Pelangi.
Apa juga sejarah yang terukir dari sentuhan Keluarga Diraja Johor pasti menjadi kebanggaan Bangsa Johor seluruhnya. Laungan Raja dan Rakyat Berpisah Tiada oleh DYMM Sultan Johor bukan sekadar laungan kosong, ianya benar-benar tersemat dalam jiwa baginda dan pewaris takhta Kerajaan Johor. Allah Peliharakan Sultan.

Sultan Iskandar was not only good in riding high performance motorcycles on the road and track but was also an expert in fixing, dissembling and reassembling motor components. It was because His Majesty was highly knowledgeable in technical engineering.
The idea of Kembara Mahkota Johor by HM Sultan Ibrahim, which was inspired by His Majesty's father, saw high performance motorcycles being used to travel around Johor to meet, listen and take action on complaints and problems faced by the people.
It has become a routine for HM Sultan Ibrahim to ride on a 'kapcai' motorcycle to mingle with staff around the palace and sometimes outside palace gates to meet the people who are coincidentally in the area. HRH Major General Tunku Ismail Ibni Sultan Ibrahim, Crown Prince of Johor, also shares the same interest and passion as His Royal Highness' grandfather and father.
HRH Crown Prince of Johor also sometimes takes an opportunity to conduct His Royal Highness' duties by motorcycle such as attending meetings or gatherings with the people.

Every mark left in history by the Johor Royal Family is surely the pride of Bangsa Johor. HM Sultan of Johor's message of 'Raja dan Rakyat Berpisah Tiada' is not just empty cans but has truly been ingrained in His Majesty's heart as well as the Johor government successors'.
