Zahid: Negeri Sembilan royal dispute to be resolved soon, in line with state constitution

Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has stated that the dispute between the Negeri Sembilan royal and the state administration will be resolved soon in accordance with the state constitution. The primary objective is to ensure the state administration functions smoothly for the benefit of the people. The crisis began with a dispute over who should be the state's ruler, involving the four Undang and the 11th Yang di-Pertuan Besar, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir.

The state executive council backed an April 17 proclamation to unseat Tuanku Muhriz, which was signed by one Undang and three other ruling chiefs. However, the state government later retracted the letter, reaffirming its commitment to uphold the state constitution and customary traditions.
