Attempts to depose Negri’s Ruler

NEGRI Sembilan has a unique elected monarchy. Under Article 7 of the Constitution of Negri Sembilan (1959), the head of the state – the Yang Dipertuan Besar – is elected by the customary ruling chiefs (called Undang) of the four territories of Sungei Ujong, Jelebu, Johol and Rembau in accordance with the constitution and customs of the state.

Regrettably, a constitutional crisis is brewing in Negri Sembilan due to the attempt by the ruling chiefs to depose Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir as head of the state.
