In a formal ceremony held at a five-star hotel in Alor Gajah, Tunku Nadzaruddin Tuanku Ja'afar was proclaimed as the 12th Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negri Sembilan. The event was attended by key officials, including Undang Jelebu Datuk Maarof Mat Rashad and Tunku Besar Tampin Tunku Syed Razman Tunku Syed Idrus Al-Qadri, with others participating remotely via Zoom. Former Mentri Besar Tan Sri Rais Yatim confirmed that the proclamation adhered to the state's traditional customs and constitutional laws. However, he raised significant concerns regarding the legality of the recent dissolution of the state assembly, suggesting it may not have complied with relevant laws, particularly since Nadzaruddin was appointed as the state ruler on April 19. Rais urged legal experts to examine the implications of this dissolution, emphasizing that the Undang were not consulted during the process. The ceremony marks a pivotal moment for the state's governance, as Nadzaruddin is set to assume his royal duties immediately, while the state government must now address the legal ramifications surrounding the assembly's dissolution.
