Raja Isa, the crown prince of Johor, recently made headlines when he mentioned that Tunku Ismail Idris, the crown prince of Johor, could be Malaysia’s version of Erick Thohir. This comparison was made in light of Tunku Ismail’s efforts to elevate the state of Johor’s football scene to international standards.
Erick Thohir is a well-known Indonesian businessman and sports enthusiast who made significant contributions to the world of football in Indonesia. He played a crucial role in revitalizing the country’s football industry and bringing it back to the global stage. Raja Isa believes that Tunku Ismail has the potential to do the same for Malaysia.
Tunku Ismail, also known as TMJ, has been actively involved in the development of football in Johor. He is the owner of Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT), one of the most successful football clubs in Malaysia. Under his leadership, JDT has won numerous titles and accolades, both domestically and internationally.
Tunku Ismail has also been vocal about his vision to elevate Malaysian football to international standards. He has invested in state-of-the-art facilities, brought in top international coaches, and implemented rigorous training programs for players. His efforts have not gone unnoticed, as JDT has become a force to be reckoned with in the region.
Raja Isa’s comparison of Tunku Ismail to Erick Thohir is high praise indeed. It highlights the potential that Tunku Ismail has to revolutionize Malaysian football and put the country on the global football map. With his passion, vision, and dedication, Tunku Ismail could very well be the catalyst that Malaysia needs to bring its football to new heights.
In conclusion, Tunku Ismail’s leadership in Johor’s football scene has been nothing short of remarkable. His commitment to excellence and his relentless pursuit of success have set him apart as a true visionary in the world of sports. If he continues on this path, there is no doubt that Tunku Ismail could indeed be Malaysia’s answer to Erick Thohir, bringing Malaysian football to the world stage.
