TMJ gives caustic interview over FAM presidency






PETALING JAYA: Johor Crown Prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim (pic) has given a caustic interview about his nomination to contest for the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) presidency.

In an interview transcript posted on the Johor Southern Tigers Facebook page on Friday, Tunku Ismail made it clear what he thought about the contest for the FAM president post.

"No wonder hell is empty. Everyone's here," was his response to the question of what he would say when first entering the FAM building should he win the presidency.

He answered much of the interview in a similar vein. The posted interview was accompanied by a picture depicting Tunku Ismail seated in a room, beside an open safe with files spread out across the floor.



On Monday, Tunku Ismail received the blessing from his father, Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar, to contest for the FAM presidency.

The other candidates contending with the Crown Prince are Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin, former FAM deputy president Tan Sri Annuar Musa and FAM Integrity Committee chairman Tan Sri Aseh Che Mat.

When asked who he thought would take the top spot, Tunku Ismail answered "Khairy Jamaludin or minister's proxy".

"I don't stand a chance going against politicians. I come from a small state and take care of a small club," he said.

Speaking about the other candidates, he said they were "nice people".

"Myself on the other hand, I'm arrogant. But the difference between us is that they need the money, the position, and then later they kill your dreams. I, on the other hand, have the resources to fulfill your dreams," he said.

He said that he was not thinking much about the nomination as he was busy with procuring a foreign football club and his duties for the state.

"I'm not qualified. Those qualified are only politicians and ministers, who are honest, knowledgeable about football and full of integrity," he said.

The election for FAM's executive committee for the 2017 to 2021 term will be held at its 53rd annual congress on March 25.

Nominations will close on Feb 13 while the final nomination list will be announced on Feb 20.

SESI TEMUBUAL BERSAMA DYAM TUNKU MAHKOTA JOHOR
Wartawan: Sekiranya Tunku menerima pencalonan dan siapa tahu, akan menjadi Presiden FAM, apa perkara pertama yang Tunku akan sebut apabila memasuki bangunan FAM?
DYAM TMJ: Tidak hairanlah neraka kosong. Semua ada di sini. Gurau ...
Wartawan: Apa yang Tunku fikirkan tentang keadaan semasa sekarang?
DYAM TMJ: Berkenaan apa?
Wartawan: Berkenaan FAM dan beberapa individu yang mahu menjadi presiden?
DYAM TMJ: Oh, maksud anda proksi Menteri Belia dan Sukan? Saya rasa cukup menyedihkan untuk melihat yang kami perlu bergaduh dengan badan induk dan beberapa individu hanya untuk menyelamatkan bola sepak.
Wartawan: Apa nasihat Tunku kepada penyokong bola sepak?
DYAM TMJ: Fikir dengan bijak, sepertimana seorang Jeneral yang berkhidmat dalam 'Indian Army' pernah memberitahu saya, "Jangan memandang rendah kuasa seorang ahli politik yang terdesak, yang sanggup melakukan atau mengatakan apa sahaja untuk mengekalkan kedudukan mereka dan memanipulasi minda yang tidak bersalah untuk kepentingan peribadi mereka sendiri".
Wartawan: Baiklah, Tunku. Apakah perbezaan antara Tunku dan individu lain yang bertanding untuk jawatan presiden?
DYAM TMJ: Mereka adalah orang yang baik. Saya seorang yang angkuh. Tetapi perbezaan di antara kami adalah mereka memerlukan wang, kedudukan, dan kemudian membunuh impian anda. Saya pula mempunyai sumber untuk memenuhi impian anda.
Wartawan: Jadi apa rancangan Tunku?
DYAM TMJ: Seorang anggota "Special Forces" tidak akan mendedahkan rancangannya. Melainkan anda seorang berpangkat kehormat.
Wartawan: Terima kasih, Tunku.
DYAM TMJ: Sama-sama.

INTERVIEW WITH HRH CROWN PRINCE OF JOHOR
Journalist: If you are going to accept the nomination and who knows, be the President of FAM, what will be the first thing you say when you enter the building?
TMJ: No wonder hell is empty. Everyone's here.
Journalist: What do you think about the current situation right now?
TMJ: Regarding what?
Journalist: Regarding FAM and the individuals wanting to be the President?
TMJ: Oh, you mean the Sports minister's proxy? Well I guess that it is sad to see that we have to fight our governing body and a few individuals just to save football.
Journalist: What is your advice to football fans?
TMJ: Be smart, as a General who served in the Indian Army once told me, "Never underestimate the power of a politician who is desperate, willing to do or say anything to keep their job as they will manipulate the innocent minds for their own personal interest".
Journalist: Very well Your Highness. What is the difference between you and the other candidates running for the Presidency?
TMJ: They are nice people. Myself on the other hand, I'm arrogant. But the difference between us is that they need the money, the position, and then kill your dreams. I have the resources to fulfill your dreams.
Journalist: So what are your plans Your Highness?
TMJ: A member of the Special Forces will never reveal his plans. Unless of course you are an honorary.
Journalist: Thank you Your Highness.
TMJ: Thank you.
Hidup Johor Demi Johor

EPISOD KEDUA : SESI TEMUBUAL BERSAMA DYAM TUNKU MAHKOTA JOHOR
Wartawan: Siapa yang Tunku rasa akan menang pemilihan FAM nanti?
TMJ: YB Khairy Jamaluddin atau proksi menteri.
Wartawan: Tunku?
TMJ: Saya mana ada peluang nak lawan orang politik. Saya datang dari negeri kecil, dan jaga kelab kecil.
Wartawan: Jadi adakah Tunku akan terima percalonan tersebut?
TMJ: Buat masa ini tidak terfikir apa apa lagi kerana saya sedang sibuk bekerja keras untuk beli sebuah kelab bola sepak luar negara, kemungkinan di Eropah kalau ada rezeki dan sibuk menjalankan tugas di Johor. Dan saya ini orang angkuh, mana layak. Yang layak hanya orang-orang politik, menteri yang jujur, bijak tentang bola sepak dan berintegriti.
Wartawan: Terima kasih Tunku.
TMJ: Terima kasih

SECOND EPISODE : INTERVIEW WITH HRH CROWN PRINCE OF JOHOR
Journalist: Who do you think would win this upcoming FAM election, Your Highness?

TMJ: I don't have the chance to go against politician. I came from a small state and taking care a small club.
Journalist: So will you accept the nomination, Your Highness?
TMJ: For now I don't do much thinking because I'm busy hardworking to purchase a foreign football club maybe in Europe if there is His will and busy doing my job in Johor. And I'm an arrogant person, I'm not qualified. The qualified ones are only politicians, ministers with honesty, wise about football and full of integrity.
Journalist: Thank you Your Highness.
