G25 urges federal, state constitutions and rule of law to be upheld in Negri Sembilan

KUALA LUMPUR: G25 Malaysia today called for the Federal and State Constitutions and the rule of law to be upheld in resolving the issue surrounding the position of the Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negri Sembilan Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir.

The civil society organisation said it firmly supported the lawful constitutional position of Tuanku Muhriz as the Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negri Sembilan, stressing that any challenge to the position must be resolved strictly according to the State Constitution, adat and the law.

"We in G25 are troubled by this matter as the act of calling for the deposition of a Ruler is a serious crime. It is the crime of treason,” said the Malay-Muslim group of former civil servants and individuals with deep experience across diverse fields, in a statement on Sunday (Sept 27).
