There are many members of the Johor Sultanate who are lip service, one of which is Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar Al-Masyhur. He is known for having a glamorous lifestyle and is branded a 'playboy'.
Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar Al-Masyhur was born in 1873. She was an admirer of England, Mother. Sultan Ibrahim even continued his father's friendly relations with the London government.
According to author Colin Smith, Sultan Ibrahim is one of the richest people in the world who makes a lot of money by selling rubber to the automobile industry.
"When he cme to power, he was only 22 years old and a spoiled and stubborn boy. His main favorites are shooting tigers, horse racing, and women. He started going on a sexual safari," she said, quoted by BBC International.
Researcher from SOAS, Dr Mulaika Hijjas, said that Sultan Ibrahim had more than a wife. Not only that, but he is also rumored to be in a romantic relationship with other women.
While making out, Sultan Ibrahim often pampered the woman with luxurious gifts such as jewelry and a magnificent house, Mother.
"The sultan was married six times in all, but I don't think he filled the whole complement, although because some of his wives died and some divorced," he said.
One of Sultan Ibrahim's major infidelity scandals was when he was linked to a prominent British dancer, Cissie Hill.
Their romance began with a meeting at the Grosvenor House hotel in London in the 1930s. There, Cissie Hill stole the attention of Sultan Ibrahim with his melodious voice and acting skills.
Their affair was strongly opposed by the British Empire and the Sultanate of Johor. Especially when their romance was revealed to the public through the event of robbery of jewelry worth 5,000 pounds or worth around 290,000 pounds (Rp5.4 billion).
The jewellery is known to have been stolen from Mayfair Court, which was Cissie's residence on the gift of Sultan Ibrahim. So, how does the story of Sultan Ibrahim continue?
