KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 7 — Four Undangs or traditional ruling chiefs of Negeri Sembilan — including three disputed ones — have today dropped their court attempt in Kuala Lumpur to ultimately remove Yang di-Pertuan Besar Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir as the Negeri Sembilan ruler.

Today, the four men — Datuk Mubarak Thahak, Datuk Maarof Mat Rashad, Datuk Muhammed Abdullah and Datuk Abdul Rahim Yasin — applied to the High Court in Kuala Lumpur to withdraw their court case against the Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar and the Negeri Sembilan state government.

In their court case filed in July via judicial review, the four men had wanted the court to order the Menteri Besar to sign their April 19 declaration to “sack” Tuanku Muhriz as Negeri Sembilan ruler within seven days of the court order.
