Johor crown prince Tunku Ismail Ibni Sultan Ibrahim (TMJ) has lashed out at Water, Land and Natural Resources Minister Dr Xavier Jayakumar for insisting that the status of Pulau Kukup as a national park must be retained.

The crown prince said that in a Facebook post titled 'Stop Politising Pulau Kukup' posted on Sunday, adding that the matter had already been resolved after the Sultan of Johor had consented for the island to be maintained as a national park.
