Palace declares Melaka hotel ceremony to proclaim Negeri Sembilan Ruler void, strips Nadzaruddin of hereditary title

“SEREMBAN, June 9 — A ceremony proclaiming the 12th Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan at a hotel in Alor Gajah, Melaka on June 5 is invalid and is not recognised under the state’s constitution, laws and customs, the palace said today. Comptroller of the Palace Datuk Azizi Mohamad Ali said the title of Yang di-Pertuan Besar that Tunku Datuk Seri Nadzaruddin Tuanku Ja’afar sought to assume, carries no legal effect. “However, by attempting to accept that invalid title, Tunku Datuk Seri Nadzaruddin ibni Almarhum Tuanku Ja’afar has, by his own action, relinquished the hereditary title of Tunku Panglima Besar of Negeri Sembilan that he previously held,” he said in a statement this evening. Azizi said the hereditary title of Tunku Panglima Besar is now vacant as a result. “There is no longer an incumbent holding the hereditary title of Tunku Panglima Besar,” he said.
