PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz has sought forgiveness from the Johor Crown Prince, according to a post on the Johor Southern Tigers Facebook page.

It is not known exactly what the Tourism and Culture Minister is apologising for, but in 2015, he had told Johor Crown Prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim to stay out of politics.

Nazri said this in response to a post made by Tunku Ismail on June 2015 criticising Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak for not attending an open dialogue session organised by a non-governmental organisation.

The war of words then continued as Tunku Ismail had reminded Nazri that "he is not a God from the heavens who lords above everybody".

Nazri back then was investigated under Section 505B of the Penal Code following his remark against Tunku Ismail, which could cause "fear or alarm to the public".

The Johor royal family granted an audience to Nazri on Thursday (March 15).

In the Johor Southern Tigers Facebook page, Nazri was seen meeting with Johor Ruler Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar.

"Nazri Aziz came to ask the Sultan of Johor's views and suggestions on national governance for the future," it said.
