FAKTA MENARIK | SEJARAH NEGERI JOHOR | JOHOR SEBAGAI ACUAN KEMODENAN NEGERI MELAYU - BAHAGIAN LIMA
Johor menjadi panduan kepada asas pemodenan corak pemerintahan dan pentadbiran kebanyakan negeri-negeri Melayu. Sebagai bapa kepada pengasas kemodenan Johor, Sultan Sir Abu Bakar mahu corak pemerintahan beraja mutlak diubah kepada sistem raja berpelembagaan yang lebih demokrasi.
Perpindahan jabatan-jabatan kerajaan Johor dari Telok Belanga ke Istana Besar yang siap dibina pada tahun 1866 membuktikan baginda mahu menonjolkan bahawa Istana itu Kerajaan dan Kerajaan itu Istana. Sebagai raja Melayu pertama ke England dan negara-negara luar serata dunia, baginda menunjukkan contoh bahawa kerajaan Melayu mampu diberi pengiktirafan di peringkat global dalam arena politik dan perdagangan antarabangsa.
Kerajaan Johor Moden menjadi lebih berdaulat dan merdeka setelah termaktubnya perlembagaan bertulis, lengkap dan tersusun dalam sejarah kerajaan Melayu melalui Undang-Undang Tubuh Kerajaan Johor 1895. Perlembagaan bertulis yang lebih komprehensif seumpama itu menjadi model rujukan negeri-negeri melayu lain setelah melihat keberkesanan Kesultanan Johor Moden menyekat kelicikan campurtangan kuasa asing.
Selain corak pentadbiran dan pemerintahan, Kesultanan Johor Moden adalah yang terawal mengadaptasi beberapa ciri kemodenan lain dalam kerajaan seperti cara berpakaian, istiadat-istiadat rasmi, perjawatan dalam kerajaan dan istana dan lain-lain. Istilah Menteri Besar yang digunapakai dalam Kerajaan Johor sejak pertengahan kurun ke-19 turut dicontohi oleh semua negeri pada masa kini. Allah Peliharakan Sultan.
