Negri Sembilan gazettes dismissal of Sungei Ujong and Jelebu Undang following royal decree

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 28 — The dismissals of the former Undang of Sungei Ujong and Undang of Jelebu have been officially gazetted following a decree by Negri Sembilan Yang di-Pertuan Besar Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, formalising their removal amid an ongoing customary and political impasse.

According to state gazettes dated October 23, Dewan Keadilan dan Undang (DKU) secretary Raja Norazli Raja Nordin confirmed the removals complied with Article 16(1) of the Laws of the Constitution of Negri Sembilan 1959, The Star reported.

The first gazette noted that a special session of the DKU was formally apprised of the decision by the Telaga Undang (the customary electoral body) of Luak Sungei Ujong to dismiss former undang Datuk Mubarak Dohak. His removal, conducted in line with customary laws and established procedures, took effect on May 13 last year.

A separate gazette confirmed the dismissal of Datuk Maarof Mat Rashad as Undang of Jelebu, executed by absolute consensus (kebulatan muafakat) among the waris (heirs), anak buah (clan members), buapak (lineage heads), and Ibu Soko (matriarchs) of the ruling lineage, effective May 31, 2023.

The dismissal of former Sungei Ujong Dato' Shahbandar Datuk Seri Badarudin Abdul Khalid, similarly decided by consensus among the clan heirs and Ibu Soko of Waris di-Ayer, was gazetted with effect from July 30 this year.

The notifications instructed all citizens and civil servants across the state to take notice of the changes.

Concurrent state gazettes dated October 23 also formalised the appointments of new luak chieftains. Datuk Muhammad Faris Johari was proclaimed Undang of Sungei Ujong after being elected by the luak's customary heirs, with the DKU confirming his post on July 31. On the same date, Datuk Hassan Ab Hamid was gazetted as the new Undang of Rembau following his election by the luak's customary heirs.

The gazetted dismissals stem from an unprecedented standoff on April 19, when Mubarak, Maarof, former Rembau undang Abdul Rahim Yasin, and Johol undang Datuk Muhammed Abdullah purported to declare Tuanku Muhriz removed as state Ruler over alleged misconduct. Their move was supported by Tunku Besar of Tampin Tunku Syed Razman Tunku Syed Idrus Al-Qadri.

While the administration of then menteri besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun refused to recognise the proclamation, his successor Datuk Ismail Lasim signed a document on August 3 endorsing the four chieftains' declaration.

Despite initially claiming he had signed under duress, Ismail announced on September 15 that the state executive council had unanimously endorsed the document, which also recognised Tunku Nadzaruddin Tuanku Jaafar as the new Ruler.

The confrontation escalated on September 20 when Tuanku Muhriz sacked all 10 state exco members for breaching their oaths of loyalty and allegiance. The ousted councillors are currently challenging their dismissal in court.

吉隆坡，10月28日——森美兰国家元首端姑穆赫里兹端姑穆纳威尔颁布法令后，双溪乌戎前任云登和日勒务云登的解职已正式在宪报公布，在持续的惯例和政治僵局中正式解除他们的职务。

据《星报》报道，根据 10 月 23 日的国家公报，Dewan Keadilan dan Undang (DKU) 秘书 Raja Norazli Raja Nordin 确认，这些拆除行动符合 1959 年森美兰州宪法第 16(1) 条的规定。

第一份公报指出，DKU特别会议正式获悉了卢阿克·桑吉·乌琼（Luak Sungei Ujong）的特拉加·乌当（Telaga Undang，传统选举机构）罢免前任乌当（undang）拿督穆巴拉克·多哈克（Datuk Mubarak Dohak）的决定。他的罢免是根据习惯法和既定程序进行的，于去年5月13日生效。

另一份公报证实，解除拿督马罗夫马特拉沙德（Datuk Maarof Mat Rashad）为日勒务翁当（Undang）的职务，是由统治家族的 Waris（继承人）、anak buah（宗族成员）、buapak（宗族首领）和 Ibu Soko（女族长）绝对一致同意（kebulatan muafakat）执行，于 2023 年 5 月 31 日生效。

前双溪乌戎拿督沙班达拿督斯里巴达鲁丁阿都哈立的罢免，同样是由氏族继承人和华里斯迪艾尔的伊布索科协商一致决定，于今年7月30日在宪报生效。

通知指示全州所有公民和公务员注意这些变化。

10月23日同时发布的州政府公报也正式任命了新的部落首领。穆罕默德·法里斯·佐哈里（Datuk Muhammad Faris Johari）经部落继承人选举，被宣布为双溪乌戎（Sungei Ujong）部落首领，其任命已于7月31日得到州政府的确认。同日，哈桑·阿卜·哈米德（Datuk Hassan Ab Hamid）经部落继承人选举，被任命为林茂（Rembau）部落新任首领。

此次宪报罢免源于4月19日前所未有的僵局，当时穆巴拉克、马罗夫、前任区长阿都拉欣·亚辛和乔胡·东姑拿督穆罕默德·阿卜杜拉声称因涉嫌不当行为而宣布罢免端姑穆里兹的州统治者职务。他们的举动得到了 Tampin Tunku Syed Razman Tunku Syed Idrus Al-Qadri 的 Tunku Besar 的支持。

尽管当时的州务大臣拿督斯里阿明努丁哈伦的政府拒绝承认该宣言，但他的继任者拿督伊斯梅尔·拉西姆于 8 月 3 日签署了一份文件，认可了四位酋长的声明。

尽管伊斯梅尔最初声称自己是在胁迫下签署的，但他于 9 月 15 日宣布，州行政委员会一致通过了该文件，该文件还承认东姑纳扎鲁丁·端姑嘉法尔为新统治者。

9月20日，冲突升级，端姑慕赫里兹以违反效忠誓言为由，罢免了全部10名州行政议员。被罢免的议员目前正在法庭上对罢免决定提出质疑。

登嘉楼州务大臣承诺加强监管，此前20家州属企业录得2400万令吉亏损。

哈吉吉表示，沙巴州的联邦发展支出达到71.78%，已完成291个项目。

罗斯玛誓言在上诉前抵制执行6750万令吉珠宝案判决。
