Negeri Sembilan Undang, disputed chiefs: Conference of Rulers told of Tunku Nadzaruddin’s succession

By Malay Mail

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 25 — The Negeri Sembilan government has notified the Conference of Rulers of Tunku Nadzaruddin Tuanku Ja’afar’s selection as the state’s 12th Yang di-Pertuan Besar, according to an Undang and three ruling chiefs whose positions are disputed.

The group said the notification meant Tunku Nadzaruddin was the only person with lawful authority to perform the functions of the Yang di-Pertuan Besar under the Negeri Sembilan Constitution 1959, including attending meetings of the Conference of Rulers, The Star reported today.

It also urged the state administration to recognise Tunku Nadzaruddin and provide him with the privileges and entitlements attached to the office.

“The state government administration must comply and remain loyal and must not commit any act of disobedience.

“The state government administration must also immediately accord all privileges and entitlements prescribed for Tunku Nadzaruddin,” they said.

State civil servants, meanwhile, were urged to follow decisions of the executive council and not bow to pressure from any party.

The group said the official notification to the Conference of Rulers reflected its position that Tunku Nadzaruddin was entitled to exercise all the functions of the Yang di-Pertuan Besar.

“Through the... official notification to the Conference of Rulers, only Tunku Nadzaruddin... has the lawful authority to exercise all functions of the Yang di-Pertuan Besar under the Negeri Sembilan Constitution 1959, including attending all meetings of the Conference of Rulers,” they said.

The joint statement was issued by Undang of Johol Datuk Muhammed Abdullah, Datuk Mubarak Thahak, Datuk Maarof Mat Rashad and Datuk Abdul Rahim Yasin, whose positions as the Undang of Sungei Ujong, Jelebu and Rembau respectively are disputed.

Tunku Besar Tampin Tunku Syed Razman Syed Idrus Al-Qadri was also a signatory.

The group maintains that Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir was removed as Yang di-Pertuan Besar on April 19, with Tunku Nadzaruddin subsequently chosen as his successor.

The Dewan Keadilan dan Undang disputes that account, maintaining that Tuanku Muhriz remains the lawful Yang di-Pertuan Besar and that the April 19 proclamation was invalid.
