Sultan Ibrahim was the 2nd modern Sultan of Johore and the 22nd Sultan overall. As an Anglophile, he continued the policy of friendly relations with the crown of Great Britain. He was particularly known for his practice of manipulating his friendship with King George V and VI to thwart the expansionist ambitions of the British Empire.

However, he became highly unpopular later in his native land for his opposition to Malayan independence. This led him to spend most of his time away from Johore, traveling extensively in Europe, particularly to Britain.
