Tuanku Muhriz will continue to be Yang di-Pertuan Besar — Hafiz Hassan
SEPT 9 — His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim (the King) on Friday (Sept 4) declared, or proclaimed, an emergency in Sa...
On September 4, His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim declared a state of emergency in Sarawak's Serian Division due to hazardous haze conditions. The King later lifted the emergency on September 7. For either step, the King must advise the Prime Minister of a grave emergency threatening the Federation's security, economic life, and public order.
The proclamation must then be published in the gazette. The three steps will be followed again when the emergency is ended. Negeri Sembilan's new Menteri Besar, Ismail Lasim, signed a proclamation on August 3 endorsing the removal of Tuanku Muhriz as the Yang di-Pertuan Besar. This was revealed in a Sept 5 statement by the state's Undang Yang Empat.
However, Ismail later stated that he and the state government remain fully loyal to Tuanku Muhriz. The Straits Times reported on September 8 that Ismail did not confirm or deny signing the proclamation. Consequently, the publication of the alleged proclamation in the gazette is required before Tuanku Muhriz's sovereignty can be challenged.
