“For instance, Ayah meeting Umno people doesn’t mean Ayah is an Umno person,” Rani told Malay Mail Online.
Ayah is a term the red-beret wearing Rani choses to use when referring to himself in the third person.
He said this in response to the allegation by Malacca Chief Minister Idris Haron that self-proclaimed Sultan of Malacca Noor Jan Tuah, who goes by Raja Noor Jan Shah Tuah, was insane.
Idris, according to the news portal, had described Noor Jan as “living in a world of his own” when asked to comment on the award conferred to Rani that purportedly carries the “Datuk Paduka” title.
Rani told the portal that he was also shown documents that “acknowledged” Noor Jan’s claim to the defunct throne, including documents supposedly endorsed by the International Court of Justice.
Idris previously rubbished the documents as fabricated and false.
Rani had earlier claimed that his acceptance of the ‘datukship’ was so he could gauge if Noor Jan’s claim was genuine.
