Editing Iskandar of Johor (section)

===Criminal misconduct===
In 1972, Mahmood was charged with assault for using chemical [[Mace (spray)|mace]] on two men for overtaking his car and was convicted for his offence the following year.<ref>''Aliran Monthly'', Aliran Kesedaran Negaran, 1992, Malaysia, pg3</ref> A year later, reports surfaced of another similar attack on a young couple, when Iskandar, together with his bodyguard, attacked them after they allegedly offended him. Another incident took place at about this time when Mahmood restrained two policemen in a dog kennel for a day after they had angered him.<ref>Downton (1986), pp 203–4</ref>

Five years later, Mahmood was charged and convicted for manslaughter<ref>[[Harold Crouch|Crouch]] (1996), pg 144</ref> for shooting and killing a man near his private helicopter, whom he took to be a smuggler. In both cases, his father, Sultan Ismail, intervened and granted official pardons to Mahmood.<ref>Copetas, Rich (2001), pg 145</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9A01EFD71238F935A15757C0A962948260|title=AROUND THE WORLD; Elected King's Reign Ending in Malaysia|date= 26 April 1984|author=UPI|work=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref><ref>Clad (1989), pg 15</ref> Similarly, his eldest son, [[Ibrahim Iskandar of Johor|Tunku Ibrahim Ismail]], was convicted in the 1980s for shooting a man to death in a nightclub during a feud, but was quickly pardoned.<ref>De Ledesma, Lewis, Savage (2003), pg 366</ref>

In 1987, Sultan Iskandar was further accused of causing the death of a golf caddy in the [[Cameron Highlands]] by assault, following an incident in which the golf caddy laughed when the Sultan missed a shot.<ref>{{Cite news |title=South-East Asia's monarchies struggle with succession |newspaper=The Economist |url=https://www.economist.com/asia/2022/09/15/south-east-asias-monarchies-struggle-with-succession |access-date=2022-10-04 |issn=0013-0613}}</ref> [[Tunku Abdul Rahman]], Malaysia's first Prime Minister, pointed out that the Sultan, at the time serving as [[Yang di-Pertuan Agong]], could not be prosecuted due to immunity that was accorded to rulers, while at the same time condemning Sultan Iskandar's actions. Eventually, the matter passed without much further public attention. The brother of the caddy – who also suffered injuries during the incident, being distressed from what he saw, subsequently ran amok in [[Kuala Lumpur]] and had to be quarantined in a mental hospital.<ref name="Crouch_146">Crouch (1996), pg 146</ref><ref>World of Information (Firm), (1993), pg 124</ref>
