Tunku Abdul Rahman ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Sir Ismail Al-Khalidi (25 November 1933–12 July 1989) was the younger son of Sultan Ismail of Johor as well as the younger brother of Sultan Iskandar of Johor.〔(Johor15 ), (), retrieved 11 January 2009〕 Abdul Rahman held the post of Tunku Mahkota〔Tengku is spelled as Tunku in Johor. ''Malaysian Politics Under Mahathir'', pg xv〕 (or Crown Prince) for twenty years until shortly before his father's death in 1981. His termination of his post generated considerable controversy for a brief period of time.〔Asian Recorder, K. K. Thomas, Recorder Press, 1981, pp. 16108〕 ==Succession crisis== Abdul Rahman was appointed Tunku Mahkota of Johor by his father, Sultan Ismail on 10 August 1961, after his brother, Tunku Iskandar (later Sultan Iskandar) was disinherited from the post on grounds of alleged misbehaviour.〔Asian Recorder, K. K. Thomas, Recorder Press, 1981, pp. 22904〕 Five years later in December 1966, Tunku Iskandar was appointed as the Raja Muda at the request of their Sultan Ismail and was approved by the Council of Royal Court, and placing him second in line to the royal throne behind Tunku Abdul Rahman.〔''Malaysia'' (1966) ...former Tengku Mahkota of Johore, Tengku Mahmood Iskandar, was in December appointed Raja Muda. ...at the request of the Sultan, the appoint- las been approved by the new Council of Royal Court. appointment of Tengku Mahmood as Raja will not affect the position of his younger brother, Tengku Abdul Rahman, who is the pre-sent Tengku Mahkota. The title is one rank below that of Tengku Mahkota, but both brothers are eligible to succeed their father on the approval of the Council of Royal Court.〕 On 29 April 1981, as Sultan Ismail lay ill on his deathbed, Tunku Iskandar was appointed Tunku Mahkota in favour of him.〔Information Malaysia (1985), pp. 58〕 The decision took many people by surprise, including the then-Menteri Besar of Johor, Othman Saat who promptly criticised the Sultan's actions, and earning the wrath of Tunku Iskandar at the same time.〔 Abdul Rahman, on the other hand, decided to remain silent initially but later took his grievances to his press and expressed his shock and disappointment over his father's decision, suggesting that he had done nothing wrong in the twenty years as the Tunku Mahkota and also cited some of his significant contributions to the state during his tenure.〔''Lest We Forget: Further Candid Reminiscences'', Tunku Putra Al-Haj Abdul Rahman, pg 175〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tunku Abdul Rahman (Tunku Mahkota of Johor)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
