'Daulat Tuanku' chants echo at KLIA ahead of Tuanku Muhriz's arrival

On the eve of Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir's anticipated arrival at Kuala Lumpur International Airport Terminal 1, supporters of Daulat Tuanku gathered outside the Special Lounge. The chants of "Daulat Tuanku" and "Tangkap Pengkhianat" filled the air, a testament to the fervent support for the current Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negri Sembilan.

Approximately 200 individuals, both members of the public and representatives from various non-governmental organisations, were in attendance. The majority of the supporters donned black attire, with many of the male attendees clad in traditional Malay garments such as Baju Melayu and songkok.

Among the supporters was Tunku Besar Seri Menanti Tunku Ali Redhauddin, the son of Tuanku Muhriz. The state executive council had recently declared the proclamation to remove Tuanku Muhriz as valid, recognizing Tuanku Nadzaruddin Tuanku Ja afar as the new Yang di-Pertuan Besar. This decision was made during a meeting chaired by Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim.

However, the opposition Dewan Keadilan dan Undang had previously contended that Tuanku Muhriz continued to hold his position as Yang di-Pertuan Besar, asserting that no legitimate process had transpired to terminate his tenure.
