Biography

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.

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.

Career

Military career

Tunku Idris attended a flight course at the Integration Aviation Academy (IAC) in Perak and served as an Army Pilot in the 881 Army Air Force Regiment, Mahkota Camp, Kluang, Johor. Tunku Idris joined the service of the Malaysian Army (TDM) through the 70th Short Term Commissioning on 16 February 2006. On 28 June 2021, he joined the service of the Royal Malaysian Navy (TLDM) and took up a position as a Helicopter Pilot of Squadron 501 at KD Rajawali, Lumut TLDM base. According to a statement on TLDM's social media, Sultan Abdullah accepted Tunku Idris' transfer of service from the TDM to TLDM, which took effect on 25 May.

Political career

Tunku Idris recently sparked a firestorm online by suggesting he would run in the following general election. He posted an Instagram Story with the hashtag "PRU15" and a poll asking whether he should run for the Muar or Mersing parliamentary seat, according to a report by Sin Chew Daily.

Other positions

On 7 February 2015, the Tunku Idris organised a charity drive to aid in the rehabilitation of flood victims. He attracted more than 60 supercar owners from Singapore. When the prince witnessed the destruction caused by the floods in Kelantan, Pahang, and Perak, he claimed he felt compelled to do his part to aid the victims.

On 2 December 2022, Tunku Idris was announced as the new pro-chancellor of Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) at the first session of the university's 22nd Convocation Ceremony at Dewan Sultan Ibrahim.
