Malay Rulers urge outsiders not to politicise Negeri Sembilan throne dispute

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 14 — The Malay Rulers have called on outsiders to refrain from interfering in or politicising the dispute surrounding the Negeri Sembilan throne. They have urged all parties involved to utilize proper legal and customary routes for resolution, expressing expectations of wisdom, patience, and respect for the royal institution.

According to Keeper of the Rulers’ Seal Tan Sri Syed Danial Syed Ahmad, the issue must not be exploited for political gain or to garner support. Spreading unverified information or being swayed by divisive narratives could worsen tensions, confuse the public, and tarnish the dignity of the royal institution. The Malay Rulers have emphasised that the throne is a position of great responsibility towards the state and its people, urging parties to maintain family ties, social harmony, and respect for the royal institution.

They also implored the public to avoid spreading unverified information and to allow the relevant authorities sufficient time to handle the situation with wisdom and sound judgment.
