The situation in Negeri Sembilan has reached a point where it is no longer just a constitutional dispute, but has become a national embarrassment, according to the author. Tunku Nadzaruddin, the current ruler, has been proclaiming himself ruler repeatedly, a behavior that Einstein would consider a sign of insanity. Various attempts, such as letters, pretend instructions, and circumventing established institutions, have failed to resolve the issue.

The Attorney-General's Chambers and other state offices have consistently stated that the Menteri Besar and State Executive Council do not have unilateral power to terminate the Yang di-Pertuan Besar's office. The State Secretary's Office also refused to gazette the disputed proclamation. Despite these rejections, the matter continues to be a source of embarrassment for the Royal Institution of Negeri Sembilan.
