NGO berhimpun sokong Tuanku Muhriz malam ini

A gathering is to be held tonight to express support for Tuanku Muhriz Muhriz Munawir, following controversy over his position as Yang Di Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan. Megat D Shahriman Zaharudin, the Secretary of the Taat Setia Supporting Group, stated that the gathering will take place at Level 5, KLIA International Airport, starting at 8:30 PM and ending at 9:30 PM, coinciding with Tuanku Muhriz's departure.

He urged Negeri Sembilan residents who wish to show support for Tuanku Muhriz to attend the gathering, emphasizing the organization's lack of interest in pre-empting the palace regarding the prince's travel arrangements. Megat D Shahriman Zaharudin noted that the organization does not wish to precede the palace in matters related to the prince's travel.

He emphasized that the association must stand together with Tuanku Muhriz to demonstrate that they do not agree with or support the perpetrators. If the allegations against all Nine Nine Nine Nine Nine Council Members (exco) of Negeri Sembilan are true, they have indeed committed a betrayal, he told FMT. The gathering is planned to be held amidst the growing controversy surrounding the position of the Yang Di Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan.

He dismissed the exco's and state assembly members' claim that Tuanku Muhriz's abdication on April last was valid, describing it as a shameful act, including questioning the exco and state assembly members' authority to determine the Yang Di Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan's position. They should be ashamed and resign if they truly did such things, he said.

Megat also called on the police to take action against those allegedly responsible and to prevent any further investigation if there is a legal issue. "We don't want this to become a normalization in other states. I hope every palace and Sultan in the states that have a royal institution will keep an eye on such matters so that it does not repeat," he said.

Yesterday, the state assembly members declared a proclamation of Tuanku Muhriz's abdication as valid and recognized Tuanku Nadzaruddin Tuanku Ja'afar as the new Yang Di Pertuan Besar. According to the exco's statement, the decision was made during a meeting chaired by the Chief Minister Ismail Lasim on Monday. However, the Justice and Law Council (DKU) had previously stated that Tuanku Muhriz would continue to be the Yang Di Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, claiming that there was no valid process for him to lose his position.
