His Royal Highness the Tunku Mahkota (Crown Prince) of Johor, Tunku Ismail ibni Sultan Ibrahim has been appointed as the President of Johor Football Association (PBNJ). The EGM held in Johor Bahru saw the Crown Prince appointed as the new president replacing the former, Jais Sarday. Among his plans to help bring back Johorean football to its former glory, the Crown Prince merged the Johor teams (which previously were Johor FC, MBJB and MP Muar) into only one where all of the players wear the Jengking (Scorpion) Team Jersey. .{{Citation needed|date=April 2017}}
Tunku Ismail's leadership on the club Johor Darul Ta'zim F.C also oversaw its success as the first Southeast Asian club to lift the AFC Cup in 2015.{{Cite web|url=http://www.the-afc.com/afc-cup-2015/johor-darul-tazim-crowned-afc-cup-champions|title=JOHOR DARUL TA'ZIM CROWNED AFC CUP CHAMPIONS|date=31 October 2015|website=the-AFC.com|publisher=Asian Football Confederation.|access-date=9 September 2016}}
In 2014, the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) appointed the Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim as an advisor to the previous FAM president, his uncle, Sultan Abdullah of Pahang. Tunku Ismail assisted and worked hand in hand with FAM in improving the quality of football within the country, particularly with the national team as well as the junior teams.
As predicted, there were several concerns about the news, particularly with Tunku Ismail having lost the FAM presidency election to Tengku Abdullah earlier that year. Besides that, he had been extremely vocal with his criticisms on the nation's footballing body. However, the then Johor FA president was extremely optimistic about the new role, claiming that he will only be pushing for the betterment of football within the country.{{cite news |last=Sundaresan |first=Keeshaanan |date=4 October 2014 |title=TMJ appointed as FAM advisor |newspaper=FourthOfficial.com |url=http://www.fourthofficial.com/football/tmj-appointed-as-fam-advisor/ |access-date=3 October 2014}}

Controversies
=Crowne Plaza incident=
In the early hours of 24 October 2008, a confrontation occurred between members of the Johor and Negeri Sembilan royal families at a nightclub in Kuala Lumpur. The incident began when a bottle was allegedly thrown by a member of the Johor royalty at Tunku Nadzimuddin Tunku Muzaffar, a 36-year-old prince from the Negeri Sembilan royal family, and his friends. The Johor group left shortly after, while Tunku Nadzimuddin's group continued their night out.[http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/articles/06fdags/Article/index_html RM50 million battle royale] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090922205705/http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/articles/06fdags/Article/index_html|date=22 September 2009}}, Fay Angela D'cruz, 2009/09/18, New Straits Times
Around 3 AM, Tunku Nadzimuddin received a call from someone claiming to be a member of the Johor royal family. The caller said that Tunku Ismail wanted to apologize for the earlier incident and invited Tunku Nadzimuddin to the Crowne Plaza hotel in Jalan Sultan Ismail. Out of respect, Tunku Nadzimuddin agreed and went to the hotel with his friends.
Upon arrival at the hotel, Tunku Nadzimuddin and his friend, Sham Shuddhuha, a 40-year-old lawyer, were allegedly dragged into an elevator by bodyguards of the Johor royal family. The rest of their friends were stopped in the lobby. In the elevator, they encountered Tunku Ismail, who was reportedly armed with a gun. Tunku Ismail allegedly began assaulting Tunku Nadzimuddin with the gun while his bodyguards attacked Sham Shuddhuha.
The two men were then taken to Room 2523, where they were allegedly confined. Tunku Nadzimuddin suffered a fractured nose, while Sham Shuddhuha fell unconscious and lost two teeth. Taking advantage of a moment alone, Tunku Nadzimuddin sent a text message to his mother, Tunku Dara Naquiah Tuanku Jaafar, asking for help.
Tunku Dara Naquiah contacted the police and rushed to the hotel with her brother and four police officers. After initially being stopped by bodyguards, they gained access to the room and took Tunku Nadzimuddin to Kuala Lumpur Hospital for treatment.
On 24 October 2008, Tunku Nadzimuddin filed a police report about the incident.[https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2009/09/17/royal-brawl-negri-prince-disappointed-but-ag-promises-action-update/ Royal brawl: Negri prince disappointed, but A-G promises action (Update)], 17 September 2009, The Star (Malaysia), Archive:https://web.archive.org/web/20180618130045/https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2009/09/17/royal-brawl-negri-prince-disappointed-but-ag-promises-action-update/ The case attracted attention due to its involvement of royal family members and raised questions about legal immunity for royalty.[http://www.malaysianbar.org.my/index2.php?option=com_content&do_pdf=1&id=19127 Malaysian princes come to blows], Leslie Lopez, South-east Asia Correspondent, 31 October 2008, The Straits Times, Archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20110610212845/http://www.malaysianbar.org.my/index2.php?option=com_content&do_pdf=1&id=19127 The police began an investigation, eventually recording statements from 41 witnesses.
In the months following the incident, the Negeri Sembilan royal family expressed frustration with the perceived lack of progress in the investigation. By September 2009, nearly a year after the event, no charges had been filed against Tunku Ismail or his bodyguards. The Attorney-General, Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail, stated that the case was still under investigation and that he would make a decision soon, emphasising the need for care and caution in such sensitive matters. Up until today, there was no update to the case.

On 28 May 2024, a deaf Grab driver named Ong Ing Keong was waiting to collect passengers outside the St Regis Hotel in Kuala Lumpur when he was allegedly assaulted by a member of Tunku Ismail's security team.{{Cite web |title='Uncalled for': Johor regent slams efforts linking alleged attack by security officer on deaf driver to royals |url=https://www.channelnewsasia.com/asia/johor-regent-tmj-bodyguard-st-regis-police-assault-grab-driver-4376921 |access-date=2024-08-19 |website=CNA |language=en}} The incident occurred when Ong was asked to move his vehicle as the royal entourage was departing the hotel lobby. A dashcam video later revealed that a man, believed to be a police officer accompanying Tunku Ismail, shouted at Ong before punching him in the face when Ong lowered his window to communicate.{{Cite web |date=2024-08-14 |title=Dashcam clip of TMJ escort assaulting disabled Grab driver revealed |url=https://www.malaysianow.com/news/2024/08/14/dashcam-clip-of-tmj-escort-assaulting-disabled-grab-driver-revealed |access-date=2024-08-19 |website=MalaysiaNow |language=en}}
Following the incident, Ong sought treatment at Kuala Lumpur Hospital for soft tissue injuries and lodged a police report at the Brickfields police station around 13:00 on the same day. The case was initially classified under Section 323 of the Penal Code for causing injury. However, later that evening, around 21:59, Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Mohd Isa reported that Ong had filed a second report stating he did not wish to pursue the matter further, describing it as a "misunderstanding" that had been settled amicably.{{Cite web |date=2024-05-29 |title=Kes pengiring kerabat: Laporan kedua mangsa kata isu selesai |url=https://www.malaysiakini.com/news/707056 |access-date=2024-08-19 |website=Malaysiakini}}
This turn of events raised suspicions of a potential cover-up. It was later revealed by the Malaysian Deaf Advocacy and Well-being Organisation (DAWN) that Ong had actually filed only one report, while the police had prepared three additional reports which Ong signed without fully understanding their contents. DAWN also alleged that Ong was pressured at the police station to either accept compensation from a palace representative or face having his phone confiscated if the case went to court.{{Cite web |date=2024-08-17 |title=Pressure mounts on police, AG as attacker of deaf Grab driver still not charged |url=https://www.malaysianow.com/news/2024/08/17/pressure-mounts-on-police-ag-as-attacker-of-mute-grab-driver-still-not-charged |access-date=2024-08-19 |website=MalaysiaNow |language=en}}
On 31 May, Ong denied withdrawing his initial police report and clarified the circumstances surrounding the additional reports. Meanwhile, Tunku Ismail issued a statement urging a thorough investigation while also claiming there was a "movement" attempting to tarnish the royal institution's reputation.
The case gained renewed attention on 14 August 2024, when rights group Lawyers for Liberty (LFL) released the dashcam footage of the incident during a press conference. LFL lawyers criticised the lack of action against the perpetrator despite clear video evidence, which had been in police possession since the day of the incident. Pressure was mounting on the police and Attorney General to take action, with various parties, including the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam), calling for transparency and justice in the case.{{Cite web |last=financetwitter |date=2024-06-02 |title=Deaf Grab Driver Assaulted By Royal Bodyguard – How Police Cover-Up Will Bring Back Johor Sultanate's 1992 Scandal - FinanceTwitter |url=http://www.financetwitter.com/2024/06/deaf-grab-driver-assaulted-by-royal-bodyguard-how-police-cover-up-will-bring-back-johor-sultanates-1992-scandal.html |access-date=2024-08-19 |website=FinanceTwitter - Money Finance Economy Business Invest News}} Up until today, there was no update to the case.
= Relationship with Syed Saddiq =
The relationship between Tunku Ismail and Muar MP Syed Saddiq has been fraught with tension since Syed Saddiq won his seat in the 2018 general election. In April 2019, Syed Saddiq claimed that Tunku Ismail had made political demands before and after the election, including a request to cancel Manny Pacquiao's boxing match in July 2018, which Syed Saddiq felt he could not fulfil.{{Cite web |last=Ishak |first=Fadhli |date=2019-04-23 |title=Syed Saddiq: TMJ made demands I could not meet {{!}} New Straits Times |url=https://www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2019/04/482359/syed-saddiq-tmj-made-demands-i-could-not-meet |access-date=2024-08-26 |website=NST Online |language=en}} In December 2018, Tunku Ismail publicly criticised Syed Saddiq for sending birthday wishes to his brother, telling him to "save your sucking up for other people".{{Cite web |title=Save your sucking up for others, Johor crown prince tells Syed Saddiq {{!}} The Malaysian Insight |url=https://www.themalaysianinsight.com/s/121337 |access-date=2024-08-26 |website=www.themalaysianinsight.com |language=en}}
The conflict continued into 2021, with Tunku Ismail describing Syed Saddiq as a populist politician in June of that year. Tunku Ismail stated that the country needs honest, innovative, and dedicated politicians, implying that Syed Saddiq did not meet these criteria.{{Cite web |last=ALI |first=KHAIRUL MOHD |date=2021-06-05 |title=Syed Saddiq ahli politik populis - TMJ |url=https://www.utusan.com.my/berita/2021/06/syed-saddiq-ahli-politik-populis-tmj/ |access-date=2024-08-26 |website=Utusan Malaysia |language=ms-MY}} In response, Syed Saddiq thanked Tunku Ismail for his concern about Muar's residents and stated he was open to criticism and suggestions.{{Cite web |last=Hadir |first=Shawaliah |date=2021-06-05 |title=Terima kasih TMJ kerana sentiasa prihatin - Syed Saddiq |url=https://malaysiagazette.com/2021/06/05/terima-kasih-tmj-kerana-sentiasa-prihatin-syed-saddiq/ |access-date=2024-08-26 |website=MalaysiaGazette |language=en-US}}
