AGC: Exco statement has no legal effect, move to gazette or implement proclamation on N. Sembilan Yamtuan’s removal invalid, unconstitutional

The Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) has stated that the Negeri Sembilan state executive council's media statement regarding the removal of Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir as the Yang di-Pertuan Besar has no legal effect. The AGC argues that the state executive council members lack the jurisdiction, authority, and power under the Negeri Sembilan Constitution 1959 to make such decisions.

Furthermore, any attempt to gazette or implement the April 19, 2026 proclamation would be deemed invalid and unconstitutional. The AGC emphasizes that the validity and effect of the proclamation must be determined through a valid constitutional and legal process, particularly under the Negeri Sembilan Constitution 1959. The AGC also notes that the Datuk-Datuk Undang have the power to take action to remove the Yang di-Pertuan Besar, but the prescribed procedures and grounds for consideration have not been met.

The AGC further highlights that the composition of the Undang Yang Empat is disputed due to the customary practices of their respective luak, leading to an incomplete composition at the material time. The matter is currently before the High Court of Malaya in Seremban, and the AGC urges all parties to respect the court process and allow the resolution to occur in an orderly manner.
