Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar of Johor made waves last year when it was announced that he had commissioned a unique, custom-decorated Mack truck (yes, the same one on which Optimus Prime was modelled) from an Australian auto outfitting firm, likely for more than a million ringgit.
Recently, His Royal Highness deigned to drive said Mack truck around the Royal City of Johor, Muar.
Any questions?
The New Straits Times Online reports on its Facebook page that Sultan Ibrahim had Paul Anka’s ‘Diana’ playing in the cab as he made his leisurely rounds through Muar, blaring his decidedly cheerful custom truck horn as he drove past.
Last month, footage spread on social media showing the truck rumbling through Johor at night, and getting refueled at a petrol station. This marks the first time any video of the Sultan himself inside the truck hsd been released, much less any of His Majesty steering it down Malaysian roads.
After all is said and done, it’s his state, and he’ll drive his pimped-out Optimus Prime through it if he wants to. Roll out!
