PETALING JAYA: The Negeri Sembilan royal court has rejected claims that the Yang Dipertuan Besar, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, had interfered in the customary affairs of a territorial chief, the Luak Sungei Ujong, at a meeting on April 17.

Raja Norazli Raja Nordin, secretary of the royal court, known as Dewan Keadilan dan Undang, said the meeting, chaired by Tuanku Muhriz, was part of the DKU's function to advise on the luak's customary decisions, as provided for under Article 16 of the state constitution.

He said the DKU heard a complaint at the meeting from the Ibu Soko Klana Hulu and Waris Klana Hulu as representatives of Telaga Undang Luak Sungei Ujong.
