KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 14 — Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan Tuanku Muhriz Ibni Almarhum Tuanku Munawir today said customs cannot be defended by breaking the very rules of custom, in a pointed address directed at those who have disputed the rules of succession in recent months.
Speaking at Istana Besar Seri Menanti this afternoon to mark the investiture of the 17th Undang of Luak Jelebu, Tuanku Muhriz said Negeri Sembilan’s constitutional monarchy, adat and legal provisions must be upheld together.
“The system of constitutional monarchy in Malaysia... places the Ruler as Head of State. However, His powers are subject to the Constitution and the law, and he serves as an umbrella of unity and a guarantor of the stability of governance,” he said.
