JOHOR BARU: Johor Ruler Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar has embarked on his annual Kembara Mahkota Johor (KMJ) 2017.
Over the next four days, Sultan Ibrahim and his family will travel over 800km to visit 10 districts in the state.
The 20th edition of KMJ was flagged off at about 8am at Dataran Bandaraya here.

KMJ has become one of the state’s most iconic events since it was introduced 16 years ago.
From Dataran Bandaraya, Sultan Ibrahim and his family will travel to Kota Tinggi and Mersing.
