Currently, he is fourth in the line of succession to the throne of Johor after his elder brother, the Crown Prince Tunku Ismail Idris and nephews, Tunku Iskandar Abdul Jalil Abu Bakar Ibrahim and Tunku Abu Bakar Ibrahim.[1]
He is the third child and second son of the current Sultan of Johor, Sultan Ibrahim and the Permaisuri of Johor, Raja Zarith Sofiah. His parents are also the current Yang di-Pertuan Agong (King) and the Raja Permaisuri Agong (Queen) of Malaysia.[2]
Biography[edit]
On 26 February 2010, Tunku Idris Iskandar was named Tunku Temenggong of Johor at the age of 22. While officiating the state-wide Maulidur Rasul celebrations at the Sultan Abu Bakar Mosque, his father the sultan made the appointment official.[3]
On 29 September 2012, Johor Menteri Besar Abdul Ghani Othman made the announcement that Tunku Idris had been named as the state's regent while the Sultan and Crown Prince were not present. At the declaration ceremony held at Istana Pasir Pelangi in Johor Bahru, the Menteri Besar recited the proclamation. On the other hand, he will be named as the Regent of Johor when the Crown Prince, who is absent at the moment, returns to the state on 19 October. During the same ceremony, a statement was also delivered regarding this issue.[4]
