Iman Muttaqin Yusof and Ushar Daniele Published: 7:00pm, 14 Sep 2026 Updated: 7:02pm, 14 Sep 2026 Malaysia ’s Negeri Sembilan royal crisis escalated on Monday after the state’s customary council said six men behind the latest attempt to remove ruler Tuanku Muhriz Munawir could be regarded as having committed grave disloyalty to the monarch. The ruling deepens a months-long struggle over Malaysia’s only elective monarchy, where a rival group of traditional chiefs has sought to depose Muhriz and install another royal in his place.
The dispute helped bring down the previous state government and trigger a snap election, only to resurface weeks after a new Umno-led administration took office.
The Dewan Keadilan dan Undang said after a special sitting on Sunday that an April 19 proclamation purporting to remove Muhriz was invalid from the outset.
