In late 1992 to early 1993, Tunku Ibrahim also experienced fallouts of
the Gomez Incident–in which his father and younger brother, Tunku
Majid were accused of two separate but related incidences of assault
which provoked a moral outrage nationwide and ultimately resulting in
constitutional amendments allowing members of the royalty to be
prosecuted for criminal wrongdoings. During that period of time, the
press, which was supported by the Malaysian government, launched a
series of vociferous press reports on the history of alleged
incidences of royal wrongdoings, of which parliamentarians highlighted
that Tunku Ibrahim had been convicted in at least two cases of assault
in the 1980s. This included a victim who was allegedly assaulted by
Tunku Ibrahim, Rahim Mohd Nor, who went so far as to describe his
assault experience as an act of sadism by Tunku Ibrahim.
In March 2005, a member of the Malaysian royalty allegedly assaulted a
young woman by the name of Yasmin with whom he accused of two-timing
him with another policeman. The victim's father, Mohd Yasin, later
lodged a police report which claimed that the assault culprit was
Tunku Ibrahim, the Tunku Mahkota of Johor.
In October 2005, a brawl occurred on Pulau Rawa after a Johor prince
allegedly gatecrashed a wedding party. The prince ordered some guests
off the island after a fight broke out when a woman refused to dance
with one of the gatecrashers. The locals, who felt offended by the
woman's attitude, went off but soon returned with golf clubs and
weapons and started a fight. In the process, several people were
injured and sent to hospital, while five others were arrested,
including a 20-year-old prince from the Johor royal family. The names
of the culprits were not released by the police, who chose to retain
the confidentiality of the attackers. The Tunku Mahkota issued a press
statement to urge the culprits to apologise to the affected guests.
The following June, press reports leaked that Tunku Ibrahim had
chalked RM 26,700 worth of unpaid traffic fines since 2000, causing
much embarrassment to the crown prince. A later report quoted him
settling all the past fines with the traffic police.
