Tuanku Muhriz, the ruler of Negeri Sembilan, has been invited to attend the Conference of Rulers meeting that starts tomorrow and continues until October 15. Sultan Nazrin Azlan Shah, who will chair the council, has extended this invitation, which bolsters the legitimacy of Tuanku Muhriz. It is reported that Tuanku Muhriz will only participate in the pre-council meeting on October 13, while His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, the King of Malaysia, will not be present.
This decision aims to preserve the sanctity of state-level interests prior to engaging with federal representatives, including Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Tuanku Muhriz is also set to preside over the appointment of a new Undang for Jelebu on October 14. It is noteworthy that Tuanku Muhriz has openly criticized corruption and misuse of power, particularly the appointment of judges, which has made him adversaries among Malaysia’s elite, including some UMNO leaders who are advocating for the pardon of former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
Despite Tunku Nadzaruddin Tuanku Jaafar being proclaimed as the new Yang di-Pertuan Besar by three former and one current Undang, he has been excluded from the invitation, despite his repeated requests through various rulers and the Menteri Besar, Datuk Ismail Lasim, to be included in lieu of Tuanku Muhriz. The state Dewan Keadilan dan Undang (DKU) has reaffirmed its stance, asserting that Tuanku Muhriz remains the legitimate ruler and that the documents purportedly issued by a rival group are invalid.
The DKU has also rejected the legitimacy of a gathering held on September 5, describing it as not being convened with Tuanku Muhriz's consent or following the DKU secretary's instructions. Furthermore, the DKU has rejected two letters from September 30, referred to as "warkah," which called for federal intervention over state authority and rejected documents issued in Tuanku Muhriz's name without its approval.
The DKU has warned state and federal civil servants against following instructions from individuals whose claims to authority are disputed.
