Badarudin was also dismissed as Syahbandar Sungei Ujong, a traditional office that serves as a counterweight to the Undang in the Sungei Ujong district.
The gazette also formally recognised Datuk Hasan Ab Hamid as the new Undang Rembau, replacing Datuk Abdul Rahim Yasin, an ally of Mubarak.
The DKU had reportedly disputed Abdul Rahim’s status, claiming his appointment as Undang Rembau had never been properly formalised.
