Who ordered the police to lock the gates at the Tampin palace?

Question

Accepted Answer

Authorities behind the gate closure at the Tampin palace remain unconfirmed

Police reportedly locked the main gate and barred entry to the official residence of the Tunku Besar of Tampin, preventing several adat leaders and invited guests from entering. Local police indicated they had received instructions not to allow anyone inside the compound at the time of the incident. However, the specific authority or individual who issued these instructions to the police has not been explicitly stated in the provided information.
Initial obstruction of entry

The incident occurred on the morning of June 5, when a special sitting of the Dewan Keadilan dan Undang (DKU) was scheduled at the Tunku Besar's residence. Upon arrival, several prominent figures, including the Undang of Jelebu, the Undang of Johol, the Undang of Rembau, Datuk Shahbandar Sungei Ujong, and former Dewan Negara president Tan Sri Rais Yatim, found the main gate secured by the police. This led to a brief period of tension as these dignitaries were initially stopped from entering the premises.
Police action and stated instructions

According to reports, the police had locked the main gate, effectively barring access to the residence. Local police personnel stated that they were acting under instructions not to permit anyone into the compound during that specific period. This action created a brief commotion outside the main entrance as some of the adat leaders were prevented from entering even by vehicle.
Resolution of the standoff

The situation began to ease after the Undang of Johol, Datuk Muhammad Abdullah, reportedly instructed the police to open the gate amidst the developing standoff. Subsequently, the Tunku Besar of Tampin, Syed Razman Syed Idrus Al-Qadri, personally came to the main gate and ordered it to be opened. Following this intervention, the authorities allowed the invited guests to enter the premises, and the brief standoff concluded.
