Johor Sultan receives honorary degree from NUS in Singapore

On Wednesday, the National University of Singapore (NUS) conferred an honorary degree on Johor Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar (Jul 20).

The Honorary Doctor of Laws in appreciation of his “integral role in guaranteeing peace, progress, and prosperity” of the state, as well as his “valuable contributions” to developing Malaysian-Singaporean relations, according to an announcement from the university.

President Halimah Yacob, who is also the Chancellor of NUS, presided over a special event at the Istana to award the degrees.

According to NUS, the honorary degree is the university’s highest form of acknowledgment for persons who have made significant contributions both locally and globally via their meritorious service.

“The Honorary Doctor of Laws degree will be awarded to His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim by the National University of Singapore.” Tan Eng Chye, president of the National University of Singapore (NUS), claimed that “the intimate bond between Singapore and Johor, and Malaysia, has become deeper and stronger.”

A seasoned soldier, generous philanthropist, and most importantly, a kind king who cares about the well-being of his people, Sultan Ibrahim is a well-respected monarch.
