00:00Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi says the ongoing royal crisis in Negeri Sambilan should be resolved through dialogue rather
00:09than the courts.
00:10He said the way forward is to respect the existing sovereign institution of the Dewan Kaadilan dan Undang.
00:17Zahid was asked for his views on resolving the ongoing Negeri Sambilan royal crisis.
00:22Yesterday, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said Tuanku Mukhris Tuanku Munawir remains the recognized ruler of Negeri Sambilan and that differing
00:31views on his position should be settled through the courts.
00:34This comes after Tunku Natsaruddin Tuanku Jafar was reportedly proclaimed as the 12th Yang Di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sambilan
00:42by the Jelubu Undang Matruf Matrashat on behalf of the four undangs at a ceremony held at a hotel in
00:49Melaka yesterday.
00:50The Secretary of the Negeri Sambilan Council of Customary Chieftains, Raja Noorazli Raja Nordin, has since said he may initiate
00:58contempt of court proceedings against those behind the purported appointment,
01:02which allegedly took place after the High Court had granted an interim injunction to preserve the status quo of the
01:08council and his position as secretary.
