Tunku Nadzaruddin Proclaimed as 12th Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan in Melaka

Tunku Nadzaruddin Tuanku Ja’afar has been proclaimed the 12th Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan in Melaka. The proclamation ceremony took place at a five-star hotel in Alor Gajah, with former Dewan Negara president Tan Sri Rais Yatim asserting that the process adhered to the state's customary law (adat) and was followed by a royal address. This proclamation occurs amidst an ongoing dispute regarding the state's royal succession.
Proclamation Ceremony Details

The proclamation was conducted in Alor Gajah, Melaka, after police initially prevented several Undang and adat leaders from convening a special sitting of the Dewan Keadilan dan Undang (DKU) in Tampin. Tan Sri Rais Yatim stated that the proceedings were carried out according to the state's adat and concluded with a royal address. Undang Jelebu Datuk Maarof Mat Rashad and Tunku Besar Tampin Tunku Syed Razman Tunku Syed Idrus Al-Qadri were physically present at the hotel venue.
Adat Leaders and Witnesses

In addition to the physically present leaders, three other adat leaders participated in the proceedings remotely via Zoom. Lawyers and adat officials were also present as witnesses to the proclamation. Rais Yatim affirmed that the process fulfilled constitutional requirements and customary protocols, stating, "the rule of law according to the Constitution has been done and the rigmarole of the Adat has been fulfilled."
Status Amidst Succession Dispute

With this proclamation, Tunku Nadzaruddin is considered free to assume his duties as Ruler, despite the existing controversy surrounding the royal succession in Negeri Sembilan. This development follows an April announcement by four Undang who appointed Tunku Nadzaruddin as the new Ruler and sought the removal of Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir. However, the state government has rejected this move, maintaining that Tuanku Muhriz remains the lawful Yang di-Pertuan Besar.
