KUALA LUMPUR – In a recent message to the public, Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim (TMJ) opened up about how he remains calm and focused despite ongoing scrutiny and criticism.
“Recently a lot of people have asked me, how are you so calm with all the things happening? My reply was, what is the worst that can happen? I’m not worried about anything. I have my own priorities and principles which are far more important than people talking crap.
“The day someone can come and snatch my coffee out of my hand is the day I should be worried ,” TMJ said in an Instagram post.
He reflected on years of facing doubt, hatred, and smear campaigns. Yet, he emphasised that enduring these challenges has only strengthened him. “How many years have they doubted? How many years have they hated? How many years with all the smear campaigns? And I end up finishing on top, winning,” he added.
TMJ highlighted the dynamic between power and criticism, noting that “haters or losers run in packs. Only the powerful walks alone.
He said that true strength never needed a crowd. When your aura and capabilities are too high, they form groups to destroy you.
“They hate you because you survive everything that’s meant to break you and you’re still standing. That type of strength terrifies the weak.
“For now, I just trust and surrender to ALLAH. I’ve been doing it for years. Every challenge shapes a legacy. I know ALLAH won’t give me all this just to let it die. ALLAH is the greatest planner.
“Every battle is won before it’s fought. Even if I lose, I win. It’s written. It’s fate, ‘Taqdeer’,” the post read. – November 24, 2025
