SEREMBAN – The Negeri Sembilan Pakatan Harapan State Leadership Council (MPNPHNS) will hold a Munajat Rakyat and congregational solat hajat on Sept 24 amid the ongoing royal and constitutional dispute in the state.
MPNPHNS said the programme was aimed at seeking Allah SWT’s guidance in resolving issues currently affecting the state.
“The programme will be followed by solat hajat at the parliamentary level in the following weeks.
“We pray to Allah SWT that all issues can be resolved, the truth revealed, and Negeri Sembilan continues to enjoy peace, harmony, prosperity and well-being,” it said in a statement today.
MPNPHNS said it was taking the developments surrounding the position of Yang di-Pertuan Besar Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir seriously.
It strongly condemned what it described as the “total” involvement of state executive council (Exco) members in efforts to remove Tuanku Muhriz from the throne through a process that it claimed did not comply with the Laws of the State of Negeri Sembilan 1959 (UUTKNS).
“The situation escalated further when the Menteri Besar, in a letter dated Sept 17, 2026 to the Keeper of the Rulers’ seal, requested that the matter concerning Tuanku Muhriz’s removal from the throne and the selection of Tuanku Nadzaruddin Tuanku Ja’afar as the 12th Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan be brought to the attention of the Malay Rulers.
“The letter also informed of the decision made at the State Executive Council meeting on Sept 15, 2026, which recognised Tuanku Muhriz’s removal from the throne and the selection of Tuanku Nadzaruddin, while instructing the state administration to implement the decision,” it said.
MPNPHNS said the attempt to remove the Yang di-Pertuan Besar through a process it claimed did not comply with the UUTKNS, followed by administrative action to recognise another ruler and notify the Malay Rulers, amounted to an open act of disloyalty towards the Ruler.
It said the matter was particularly concerning as it involved members of the state administration who had been entrusted with governing the state and had taken an oath and pledged loyalty to the Yang di-Pertuan Besar and the Royal Institution.
“MPNPHNS stresses that the Menteri Besar must take appropriate action in response to the Yang di-Pertuan Besar’s decree that a new list of Exco candidates be presented for His Highness’ consideration and consent in accordance with the UUTKNS.
“No member of the state administration can choose to obey the Ruler’s decree only when it aligns with their own wishes,” it said.
MPNPHNS also described the actions of all 10 Exco members as extremely serious, saying they directly concerned the principle of loyalty to the Ruler and the country as enshrined in the Rukun Negara.
“If the investigation finds that any laws have been breached, firm action must be taken regardless of position, rank or office,” it said.
MPNPHNS urged the entire matter to be investigated transparently, independently and comprehensively by the relevant authorities.
