Negeri Sembilan royal dispute: Sungei Ujong Undang says Tuanku Muhriz removal bid invalid despite purported MB sign-off

On September 9, Sungei Ujong Undang Dato' Klana Petra Muhammad Faris Johari Meor Ngah declared the purported removal of Negeri Sembilan's Yang di-Pertuan Besar, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, as invalid.

He noted that the Negeri Sembilan Dewan Keadilan dan Undang (DKU) previously determined the April 19 declaration had no legal authority according to the Negeri Sembilan Constitution.

He also stated that three of the four Undangs involved lacked the authority as ruling chiefs, following the loss of their customary positions.

The controversy arose when a group of traditional leaders claimed the declaration was finalized by Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim, a claim he has not directly addressed.

SEREMBAN, Sept 9 — Sungei Ujong Undang Dato’ Klana Petra Muhammad Faris Johari Meor Ngah today said a declaration purportedly signed by the Negeri Sembilan menteri besar concerning the removal of the Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, was invalid and could not take effect.

In a statement, Muhammad Faris maintained that the Negeri Sembilan Dewan Keadilan dan Undang (DKU) had ruled at an earlier sitting that the April 19 declaration concerning Tuanku Muhriz had no legal effect because it did not meet the requirements of the Negeri Sembilan Constitution.

He also maintained that three of the four Undangs involved in the attempted removal no longer had authority as ruling chiefs after losing their customary positions in their respective luak.

“Any matter concerning the position of the Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan at present must have our decree in our capacity as Imam of the Undang Yang Empat,” he said.

The statement followed a claim by another group of traditional leaders that Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim had signed the proclamation at Istana Laguna Biru in Port Dickson on August 3, completing the document first issued on April 19.

The group, comprising the Undang Yang Empat, Tunku Besar Tampin and Datuk Shahbandar Sungei Ujong, called for the proclamation to be enforced immediately.

Ismail, who was sworn in as menteri besar before Tuanku Muhriz on August 2, reaffirmed his full support and loyalty to the ruler on September 6 but did not directly address whether he had signed the document.

At its July 31 sitting, which was chaired by Tuanku Muhriz, the DKU recognised Muhammad Faris as the lawful Undang Luak Sungei Ujong and ruled that Mubarak Thahak, Abdul Rahim Yasin and Maarof Mat Rashad did not have the legal authority to exercise powers under Article X of the state constitution.

The dispute began in April when four individuals claiming to be the Undangs announced Tuanku Muhriz’s removal and named Tunku Nadzaruddin Tuanku Ja’afar as the new ruler — a move rejected by the then state government.

9月9日，双溪乌宗温当拿督克拉纳佩特拉穆罕默德法里斯佐哈里梅奥尔雅宣布，据称罢免森美兰国家元首端姑穆里兹端姑穆纳维尔的提议无效。

他指出，森美兰州下议院（DKU）此前裁定，根据森美兰宪法，4月19日的声明没有法律效力。

他还表示，涉事的四名酋长中有三名失去了传统地位，因此缺乏作为统治酋长的权威。

争议源于一群传统领袖声称该宣言是由内政大臣拿督伊斯梅尔·拉西姆最终敲定的，但他本人尚未对此做出直接回应。

芙蓉9月9日电—双溪乌宗温当拿督克拉纳佩特拉莫哈末法里斯佐哈里今天表示，据称由森美兰州大臣签署的关于罢免森美兰州元首端姑穆里兹的声明无效且无法生效。

穆罕默德法里斯在一份声明中坚称，森美兰州下议院（DKU）在早些时候的会议上裁定，4月19日有关端姑穆赫里兹的声明没有法律效力，因为它不符合森美兰宪法的要求。

他还坚持认为，参与罢免行动的四位酋长中有三位在失去各自在卢阿克的传统地位后，不再拥有统治酋长的权力。

“目前有关森美兰州最高大臣地位的任何事宜都必须以我们作为国家元首伊玛目的身份颁布法令。”

在此声明发布之前，另一组传统领导人声称，森美兰州务大臣拿督伊斯梅尔·拉欣已于 8 月 3 日在波德申的 Istana Laguna Biru 签署了该公告，完成了 4 月 19 日首次发布的文件。

该团体由 Undang Yang Empat、Tunku Besar Tampin 和 Datuk Shahbandar Sungei Ujong 组成，呼吁立即执行该公告。

伊斯梅尔于 8 月 2 日在端姑慕赫里兹面前宣誓就任州务大臣，并于 9 月 6 日重申了他对统治者的全力支持和忠诚，但他没有直接回应是否签署了该文件。

在 7 月 31 日由端姑慕赫里兹主持的会议上，DKU 承认穆罕默德·法里斯为合法的 Undang Luak Sungei Ujong，并裁定穆巴拉克·塔哈克、阿卜杜勒·拉希姆·亚辛和马鲁夫·马特·拉沙德没有根据国家宪法第十条行使权力的合法授权。

这场争端始于四月，当时四名自称是Undangs的人宣布罢免Tuanku Muhriz，并任命Tunku Nadzaruddin Tuanku Ja'afar为新统治者——这一举动遭到了当时州政府的拒绝。
