Negeri Sembilan crisis: what we know so far
FMT recaps the key events that took place in the state over the past six months.
The Negeri Sembilan royal crisis began in April 2023 after four purported undangs (chieftains) announced the removal of Tuanku Muhriz as the Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan. This move was deemed invalid by the highest customary council and the Attorney General's Chambers. The impasse intensified after the August 1 state election, leading to a constitutional crisis.
Four undangs purportedly proclaimed Tunku Nadzaruddin as the new Yang Dipertuan Besar at a hotel in Melaka, but this proclamation was later declared invalid by the palace. The crisis involved several political and legal battles, including a court challenge and a state election that resulted in a BN-PN alliance securing a two-thirds majority to form a new government.
Tuanku Muhriz remains recognized as the ruler by the Prime Minister, while the state assembly has been dissolved amidst the ongoing disputes.
