Tuanku Muhriz: Royal succession disputes must follow adat, law
KUALA PILAH: Disputes over royal succession in Negeri Sembilan must be resolved in accordance with adat or customary law and legal provisions, rather than personal interests.
Negeri Sembilan's Tuanku Muhriz emphasizes that royal succession disputes must be resolved following both adat (customary law) and legal provisions, rather than personal interests. He stresses that the authority of the royal institution must be upheld through integrity, justice, and responsibility, warning that actions contrary to established customs could undermine public confidence and threaten the state's stability.
Tuanku Muhriz also highlights the importance of adat institutions, such as Undang Yang Empat and Lembaga, in preserving traditions and maintaining stability, warning that those who take actions to defend adat rules in violation of their own rules risk undermining the authority of customary institutions and destabilizing the state.
