Tunku Nadzaruddin pertikai pembatalan pelantikan exco NS

Tuanku Nadzaruddin Tuanku Ja afar and four individuals claiming to be the Undang of Negeri Sembilan have challenged the cancellation of the election of 10 exco members last month. Tunku Nadzaruddin reasserted his claim against Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir as the Yang Di Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan in his statement the previous night, claiming that the election of the aforementioned exco members on September 20th was invalid and illegal as it was not confirmed.

He and the other four undang individuals have urged the continuation of the administration of the Negeri Sembilan government, according to the joint statement with the four undang individuals and Tunku Besar Tampin. They claim that Tuanku Muhriz is no longer the Yang Di Pertuan Besar after a previous proclamation, accepted and decided upon by the undang individuals.

Negeri Sembilan has not had an exco since September 20th after 10 of its members were removed from office due to violating their oaths. This removal was made following a statement five days earlier supporting a declaration to lower Tuanku Muhriz as the Yang Di Pertuan Besar. They consist of Umno representative Mustapha Nagoor (Palong); Faizal Ramli (Linggi); Zaiful Bahri Idris (Chembong); Razi Ali (Sungai Lui); Asna Amin (Lenggeng); Siti Nur Umaira Hasim (Labu); and Suhaimizan Bizar (Gemencheh).

Three of them are from MCA representatives Siow Kong Choon (Chennah); Fairuz Isa from PAS (Serting); and Razali Abu Samah (Sikamat) from Wawasan. The cancellation of the election of the aforementioned exco members was announced on September 24th. Previously, the Legislative and Justice Council of Negeri Sembilan affirmed the exco's decision on the removal of Tuanku Muhriz from the throne, stating that it had no legal effect as it was outside the jurisdiction of the state government.

Raja Norazli Raja Nordin said that matters related to Malay tradition, including the selection, election, removal, and dismissal of the Yang Di Pertuan Besar and Undang, fall under the jurisdiction of the state according to the Perkara XVI of the Negeri Sembilan State Constitution Body (UUTKNS). Regarding the proclamation, the Attorney General's Department drew attention to its initial view that the proclamation of April 19th was invalid as it did not comply with the mandatory provisions of Perkara 10 UUTKNS.
