TAMPIN: Tunku Nadzaruddin Tuanku Ja'afar who was supposed to attend an official proclamation ceremony at the Tunku Besar Tampin's official residence was allegedly not allowed to attend the event.
Former Dewan Negara president Tan Sri Rais Yatim said Tunku Nadzaruddin was allegedly not allowed to leave the hotel where he was putting up in Melaka.
"He was not allowed to attend the ceremony here to carry out his duties as the 12th Yang di-Pertuan Besar.
"The police also did not state why he was not allowed to come," he told reporters when met outside the Tunku Besar Tampin's official residence.
Rais, who was former Negri Sembilan mentri besar, said he would be meeting the police on the matter.
"I want to determine for the sake of the law and the information for people in this state particularly under which provision of the law they are confining him in the hotel.
"Firstly, not allowing him to leave the premises to come here for a social responsibility.
"Number two, if at all true, why do they want to take him to Kuala Lumpur or another place as he has not committed any offence," he added.
