The Negeri Sembilan Dewan Keadilan dan Undang (DKU) has denied the claim that Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir has ceased to be the ruler of Negeri Sembilan. DKU secretary Raja Norazli Raja Nordin reiterated that Tuanku Muhriz was elected as the 11th Yang Dipertuan Besar on Dec 29, 2008, and officially installed on Oct 26, 2009, as per the Laws of the Constitution of Negeri Sembilan 1959 (UUTKNS).
DKU maintains that Tuanku Muhriz continues to hold the position and serves as chairman of the DKU under Article 19. According to Article 10 of UUTKNS, Tuanku Muhriz can only be removed from the position if the Undangs demand his abdication or step down, following a proper and full enquiry, determination of the grounds specified under Article 10, and a proclamation under Article 10(2).
None of these requirements have been met, according to Raja Norazli. Tuanku Muhriz has continued to perform the functions of the Yang Dipertuan Besar since April 19, and the council continues to sit with him as its chairman.
