Tuanku Muhriz Expresses Gratitude To Supporters Upon Return At KLIA

Kuala lumpur: Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir expressed his appreciation for the support shown by over 200 members of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) who gathered at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 1 here tonight to welcome his arrival.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Tuanku Muhriz addressed reporters shortly after exiting the VIP lounge at 10.40 pm, accompanied by Tunku Ampuan Besar Tuanku Aishah Rohani Tengku Besar Mahmud. "I will return to the palace tonight," His Royal Highness stated. When asked if he would resolve the Negeri Sembilan royal institution impasse, Tuanku Muhriz briefly replied: "Yes, insya-Allah, insya-Allah. Thank you, everyone."

Tuanku Muhriz was greeted with shouts of "Daulat Tuanku" by supporters dressed in black attire with songkok and yellow shirts. Among those present was Tunku Besar Seri Menanti Tunku Ali Redhauddin Tuanku Muhriz. Before departing for the palace, Tuanku Muhriz mingled and shook hands with the crowd.

Earlier in the evening, a peaceful gathering was held to show support for Tuanku Muhriz, involving several NGOs, including the president of Pertubuhan Otai Reformasi Negeri Sembilan (Profans), Waris Datuk Siamang Gagap, Waris Negeri Sembilan, and Pekan.

The Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) issued a statement tonight declaring the proclamation regarding Tuanku Muhriz's position dated April 19 as invalid due to non-compliance with the mandatory requirements of Article 10 of the Laws of the Constitution of Negeri Sembilan 1959. The AGC clarified that the Menteri Besar and the Negeri Sembilan State Executive Council do not possess unilateral authority to depose or declare vacant the office of the Yang Dipertuan Besar.

Meanwhile, the Negeri Sembilan Dewan Keadilan dan Undang (DKU) emphasized that Tuanku Muhriz remains the legitimate Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan and chairman of the DKU.
