DKU accuses Negeri Sembilan exco of treason, coup attempt against Tuanku Muhriz

The Dewan Keadilan dan Undang Negeri Sembilan (DKU) has accused the Negri Sembilan state executive council of treason for allegedly attempting to overthrow Yang di-Pertuan Besar Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir.

The DKU contends that the April 19, 2026 proclamation removing Tuanku Muhriz was unconstitutional and null since it did not satisfy mandatory legal conditions.

The state executive council maintained that the proclamation, which appointed Tuanku Nadzaruddin Tuanku Ja'afar as the new ruler, was valid, while the DKU characterized the actions as a coup, demanding legal accountability.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 17 — The Dewan Keadilan dan Undang Negeri Sembilan (DKU) has accused the Negri Sembilan state executive council of treason and attempting to overthrow Yang di-Pertuan Besar Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir.

According to a letter issued by Messrs Halim & Ismail last night, sighted by Malay Mail the law firm said it was acting for the first and second defendants in Seremban High Court Originating Summons No. NA-24NCvC-240-05/2026, namely Raja Norazli Raja Nordin, the DKU secretary, and the DKU.

The letter was addressed to Negri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim and copied to members of the state executive council, the state secretary and the state legal adviser.

It referred to the ' Kenyataan Media Majlis Mesyuarat Kerajaan Negeri Sembilan — Keputusan Majlis Mesyuarat Kerajaan Negeri, Negeri Sembilan Bil 6 Tahun 2026' dated Sept 15.

The solicitors said their clients noted that Ismail had relied on the April 19, 2026 proclamation for the purposes of the media statement.

They said the proclamation did not satisfy the mandatory conditions under Article 10 of the Undang-Undang Tubuh Kerajaan Negeri Sembilan 1959 and was therefore “null and void and of no legal effect”.

The letter also referred to the exco statement declaring that Tuanku Muhriz had been removed as Yang di-Pertuan Besar by the Undang Yang Empat, and that Tuanku Nadzaruddin Tuanku Ja’afar had been selected and recognised as the new Yang di-Pertuan Besar with immediate effect.

In response, the solicitors said their clients were “shocked by your reckless announcement”.

They said the exco did not have the jurisdiction, authority or power to make the announcement, which they described as unconstitutional, void and of no legal effect.

“It is our clients’ firm view that your conduct in issuing the abovementioned announcement is to subvert the executive authority of Tuanku Muhriz under the UUTKNS, and is further intended to overthrow and dethrone Tuanku Muhriz,” the letter said.

The solicitors further alleged that the conduct was “tantamount to a coup d’etat and an act of treason”, which they said should be punishable under the Penal Code and other relevant laws.

In its statement on Tuesday, the state exco said the April 19 proclamation removing Tuanku Muhriz had been signed and sealed by the legitimate Undang, and that the decision to remove him was the absolute prerogative of the Undang Yang Empat, the four ruling chiefs who elect the state ruler.

It also said Ismail’s signature as menteri besar on August 3 completed the proclamation in accordance with the state constitution.

The statement, however, did not address the DKU’s position that Article 10 of the state constitution, which allows the four chieftains to remove a ruler, requires a thorough enquiry.

Ismail had previously claimed he was forced to sign the proclamation on August 3 and subsequently lodged a police report over the matter.

森美兰州议会 (DKU) 指控森美兰州执行委员会涉嫌叛国，涉嫌试图推翻国家元首端姑穆赫里兹端姑穆纳维尔。

DKU认为，2026年4月19日罢免端姑慕赫里兹的公告违宪无效，因为它不符合强制性法律条件。

州行政委员会坚持认为任命端姑纳扎鲁丁端姑贾法尔为新统治者的公告有效，而DKU则将此举定性为政变，要求追究法律责任。

吉隆坡，9月17日——森美兰州下议院（DKU）指控森美兰州执行委员会犯有叛国罪，并试图推翻国家元首端姑穆赫里兹端姑穆纳维尔。

据《马来邮报》看到的 Halim & Ismail 律师事务所昨晚发布的一封信函显示，该律师事务所表示，他们正在代理芙蓉高等法院原诉传票第 NA-24NCvC-240-05/2026 号案件的第一和第二被告，即 DKU 秘书 Raja Norazli Raja Nordin 和 DKU。

这封信的收件人是森美兰州务大臣拿督伊斯迈·拉西姆，抄送给了州行政议会成员、州秘书和州法律顾问。

它提到了 9 月 15 日发布的“Kenyataan Media Majlis Mesyuarat Kerajaan Negeri Sembilan — Keputusan Majlis Mesyuarat Kerajaan Negeri, Negeri Sembilan Bil 6 Tahun 2026”。

律师表示，他们的客户注意到，伊斯梅尔在媒体声明中援引了 2026 年 4 月 19 日的公告。

他们表示，该公告不符合 1959 年森美兰州政府法令第 10 条规定的强制性条件，因此“无效且不具法律效力”。

信函还提及行政会议的声明，宣布端姑慕力兹已被国家元首解除，而端姑纳扎鲁丁端姑嘉化已被选为新任最高大臣，并立即生效。

对此，律师们表示，他们的客户“对你鲁莽的声明感到震惊”。

他们表示，行政委员会没有管辖权、授权或权力做出该声明，他们称该声明违宪、无效且不具法律效力。

信中写道：“我们的客户坚信，你发布上述公告的行为意在颠覆端姑慕赫里兹在UUTKNS（乌干达国王国家安全部）下的行政权力，并进一步意图推翻和废黜端姑慕赫里兹。”

律师们进一步声称，这种行为“等同于政变和叛国行为”，他们表示，这种行为应该根据《刑法》和其他相关法律受到惩罚。

周二，州行政议会发表声明称，4月19日罢免端姑慕赫里兹的公告已由合法的州议会签署盖章，罢免他的决定是选举州统治者的四位执政首领——州议会的绝对特权。

声明还指出，伊斯梅尔于8月3日以州务大臣身份签署的公告，符合州宪法的规定，标志着该公告的完成。

然而，该声明并未提及 DKU 的立场，即州宪法第 10 条允许四位酋长罢免统治者，需要进行彻底调查。

伊斯梅尔此前声称，他是被迫于 8 月 3 日签署该公告的，随后就此事向警方报案。
