Negeri Sembilan MB instructs state secretary to gazette Tuanku Muhriz’s removal despite DKU objection

Negri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim has directed the gazetting of Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir's removal as Yang di-Pertuan Besar, despite opposition from the Dewan Keadilan dan Undang (DKU), which claims that the state executive council lacks authority over the ruler's position.

The DKU insists Tuanku Muhriz remains the legitimate ruler, and the matter is pending in the High Court.

Lawyers for Tuanku Muhriz accuse the state government of attempting a coup and plan to pursue contempt proceedings for allegedly breaching a court injunction.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 17 — Negri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim has instructed the state secretary to proceed with gazetting the removal of Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir as Yang di-Pertuan Besar, despite the Dewan Keadilan dan Undang (DKU) saying the state executive council has no jurisdiction to determine the ruler’s position.

According to Free Malaysia Today (FMT) Ismail told reporters after an event in Seremban that he endorsed the statement issued by the state executive council yesterday affirming Tuanku Muhriz’s removal.

He said the exco had unanimously agreed on the position when it met on Tuesday.

Ismail said the state secretary had been asked to proceed with gazetting the proclamation on Tuanku Muhriz’s removal “according to the relevant regulations”.

Ismail declined to take further questions from reporters, FMT reported.

The exco’s statement yesterday affirmed that Tuanku Muhriz’s removal in April was legitimate and that Tuanku Nadzaruddin Tuanku Ja’afar was the new ruler of Negeri Sembilan.

The development comes despite the DKU maintaining that the state executive council has no jurisdiction to determine the validity of the proclamation or the position of the Yang di-Pertuan Besar.

In a statement today, the DKU said the exco’s September 16 decision had no legal effect insofar as it purported to confirm Tuanku Muhriz’s removal, recognise a new ruler and order its immediate implementation.

The DKU maintained that Tuanku Muhriz remained the legitimate Yang di-Pertuan Besar and that questions involving Malay adat, including the appointment and removal of the ruler, fell within its jurisdiction under the Negri Sembilan Constitution.

It also said the matter was before the High Court in Seremban and urged all parties to respect the legal process.

Meanwhile, lawyers for Tuanku Muhriz accused the state government of staging a coup by declaring his removal, saying yesterday’s statement breached interim injunctions issued by the High Court on June 5.

They said they intended to commence contempt proceedings against the state government over the alleged breach of the injunctions.

尽管遭到下议院（DKU）的反对，森美兰州务大臣拿督依斯迈拉欣已指示在宪报刊登罢免端姑慕力兹的元首职务。

DKU 坚持认为端姑慕赫里兹仍然是合法统治者，该案目前仍在高等法院审理中。

端姑慕赫里兹的律师指责州政府企图发动政变，并计划提起藐视法庭诉讼，指控其违反法院禁令。

吉隆坡，9月17日——森美兰州务大臣拿督依斯迈·拉欣已指示州秘书继续在宪报上罢免端姑穆里兹·端姑穆纳维尔的国家元首职务，尽管州议会表示州执行委员会无权决定统治者的职位。

据《今日自由马来西亚》（FMT）报道，伊斯梅尔在芙蓉参加完一个活动后告诉记者，他赞同州行政议会昨天发表的声明，该声明确认罢免端姑慕赫里兹。

他说，执行委员会在周二的会议上一致同意这一立场。

伊斯梅尔表示，已要求国务秘书“按照相关规定”发布罢免端姑慕赫里兹的公告。

据FMT报道，伊斯梅尔拒绝回答记者的进一步提问。

行政会议昨天发表的声明确认，端姑慕里兹在四月份被罢免是合法的，并且端姑纳扎鲁丁端姑嘉化是森美兰州的新统治者。

尽管 DKU 坚持认为州行政委员会无权决定该公告的有效性或最高元首的地位，但事态仍有所进展。

DKU今天发表声明称，行政委员会9月16日的决定不具有法律效力，因为它试图确认罢免端姑慕赫里兹，承认新统治者并命令立即执行。

DKU 坚持认为端姑慕赫里兹仍然是合法的元首，并且涉及马来习俗的问题，包括统治者的任命和罢免，都属于森美兰州宪法规定的管辖范围。

声明还指出，此事已提交芙蓉高等法院审理，并敦促各方尊重法律程序。

与此同时，端姑慕赫里兹的律师指责州政府通过宣布罢免他发动政变，称昨天的声明违反了高等法院于 6 月 5 日发布的临时禁令。

他们表示，他们打算就州政府涉嫌违反禁令一事，对州政府提起藐视法庭诉讼。
