PRESS STATEMENT
VACANCY OF THE HEREDITARY TITLE OF TUNKU PANGLIMA BESAR, ONE OF THE FOUR PRINCES, NEGERI SEMBILAN
It is hereby announced that the ceremony described as the “Proclamation Ceremony” of the 12th Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, held at a hotel in Alor Gajah, Melaka on 5 June 2026, is invalid and not recognised under the Constitution, the law, and the customs of Negeri Sembilan.
Accordingly, the title of Yang di-Pertuan Besar that Y.A.M. Tunku Dato’ Seri Nadzaruddin ibni Almarhum Tuanku Ja’afar has attempted to assume is of no effect.
However, by attempting to accept that invalid title, Y.A.M. Tunku Dato’ Seri Nadzaruddin ibni Almarhum Tuanku Ja’afar has thereby relinquished the Hereditary Title of Tunku Panglima Besar of Negeri Sembilan that he previously held.
Consequently, there is no longer any holder of the Hereditary Title of Tunku Panglima Besar.
DATO’ AZIZI BIN MOHAMAD ALI Pengelola Bijaya Diraja (Royal Household Administrator / Master of the Royal Household) 9 June 2026
