Dari segi adat Yamtuan Besar Tuanku Muhriz masih raja

Ternyata kerajaan Negeri Sembilan yang baru, yang turut disertai oleh Wawasan tidak mampu menyelesaikan masalah atau krisis kepimpinan adat.

Dari segi adat Yamtuan Besar Tuanku Muhriz masih raja

Tuanku Muhriz ibni Almarhum Tuanku Munawir, the Yang Di Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, continues to face opposition from some high-ranking traditional leaders, particularly from Johol, Jelebu, and Tampin. These leaders are questioning the reasons behind their discontent with the Yang Di Pertuan Besar. Mohd Rais Yatim, a member of the Wawasan Party and now working with Umno, claims to be an expert in adat traditions and discusses the shift from truth and justice to religious reliance in decision-making within adat leadership.

The Musa Wahab case is cited as a significant decision, setting two important precedents: the courts have no jurisdiction in adjudicating matters pertaining to Undang or adat leader succession, and the Dewan Keadilan dan Undang may have the prerogative of blessing or opposing an Undangship claim. Rais believes that the Dewan's blessing now serves as a yardstick for adat leadership succession, potentially granting it new constitutional standing.

It is clear that the Yang Di Pertuan Besar's authority is now seen as the deciding factor, and Rais himself acknowledges the Dewan Keadilan dan Undang's power in determining an Undang's status. Ultimately, Rais concludes that any decision should be made in accordance with Islamic principles and justice.
