The Yang di-Pertuan Besar Proclaims the New Tunku Panglima Besar

The Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, formally proclaimed Tunku Zain Al-’Abidin Tuanku Muhriz as the new Tunku Panglima Besar. This proclamation occurred during a ceremony held at the Balairong Seri of Istana Besar Seri Menanti in Kuala Pilah, following Negeri Sembilan royal customs. The Yang di-Pertuan Besar expressed his confidence that the new Tunku Panglima Besar would uphold the state's royal institution and protect the interests of Negeri Sembilan and its people.
Proclamation Ceremony and Customs

The ceremony involved Tunku Zain receiving his instrument of appointment after the Orang Empat Istana sought consent for the proceedings to commence. This event was attended by the Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun, along with state executive councillors, traditional leaders, and community representatives, underscoring the significance of the appointment within the state's hierarchy.
Succession and Title Vacancy

The title of Tunku Panglima Besar reportedly became vacant following Tunku Nadzaruddin Tuanku Ja’afar's acceptance of a proclamation as the 12th Yang di-Pertuan Besar on June 5. However, the Istana Besar Seri Menanti stated that this June 5 proclamation was invalid and not recognised under the Constitution, laws, and customs of Negeri Sembilan. Consequently, Tunku Nadzaruddin’s acceptance of the invalid proclamation led to the vacancy of the Tunku Panglima Besar title.
Confidence in the Appointee

Pengelola Bijaya Diraja of the Negeri Sembilan Palace, Datuk Azizi Mohamad Ali, conveyed Tuanku Muhriz's confidence in Tunku Zain Al-’Abidin. The Yang di-Pertuan Besar believes that the 44-year-old Tunku Zain possesses the capability to effectively uphold the sovereignty of the state’s royal institution and diligently safeguard the interests of Negeri Sembilan and its populace.
