PETALING JAYA - Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir is scheduled to return home from an overseas trip on Thursday (Sept 17) night.

A poster circulating on social media has called on the public to gather at the KLIA Terminal One Level 5 car park at 8.30pm tonight.

The gathering is organised by Profans, Waris Dato Siamang Gagap, Waris Negeri Sembilan and Pekan.

The planned gathering comes amid an escalating dispute over the position of the Negeri Sembilan Ruler.

In a statement purportedly issued by the state executive council (exco) on Wednesday (Sept 16), the members had stated that Tuanku Muhriz's removal as the Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negri Sembilan in April was legitimate.

The exco added that Tuanku Nadzaruddin Tuanku Ja'afar was now the new ruler of Negeri Sembilan.

On Sept 9, former menteri besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun said the current state government had publicly stated that the proclamation document did not satisfy the processes and procedures stipulated under the state laws.

It also said the proclamation was invalid, unconstitutional, and unenforceable.

On Aug 3, state Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim signed an instrument of proclamation to remove Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir as state Ruler.

But about a month later, Ismail said he was made to sign the document under duress and lodged a report on the matter. - THE STAR
