Adat Leaders Faced Initial Entry Denial at Dewan Keadilan dan Undang Sitting

Several prominent adat leaders and invited guests experienced a brief period of tension when they were initially denied entry to the official residence of the Tunku Besar of Tampin for a sitting of the Dewan Keadilan dan Undang (DKU). Police had reportedly secured the main gate, preventing access to the premises where a ceremony related to the proclamation of a new Yang di-Pertuan Besar was scheduled. The group, which included the Undang of Jelebu Datuk Maarof Mad Rashad, Undang of Johol Datuk Muhammad Abdullah, Undang of Rembau Datuk Raja Abdul Rahim Yasin, Datuk Shahbandar Sungei Ujong Datuk Seri Utama Badarudin Abdul Khalid, and former Dewan Negara president Tan Sri Rais Yatim, arrived around 9:30 am.
Police Cited Instructions to Deny Entry

Local police stated that they were operating under specific instructions not to permit anyone into the compound at the time of the dignitaries' arrival. This directive led to the main gate being locked, creating a standoff outside the entrance. The situation intensified momentarily when some of the adat leaders were prevented from entering by vehicle after the police had secured the gate.
Datuk Muhammad Instructed Police to Open Gate

Amidst the commotion, the Undang of Johol, Datuk Muhammad Abdullah, reportedly expressed his displeasure and instructed the police to open the gate. This intervention occurred during the brief standoff outside the main entrance.
Entry Granted After Tunku Besar's Intervention

The tension subsided when the Tunku Besar of Tampin, Syed Razman Syed Idrus Al-Qadri, personally intervened by going to the main gate and ordering it to be opened. Following this, authorities permitted the invited guests and adat leaders to enter the premises. This incident occurred in the context of prior actions by the adat leaders, who had appointed Tunku Nazaruddin Tuanku Ja’afar as the new state ruler on April 19 and sought to depose Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, a move that the state government deemed unconstitutional.
