  • Four prominent Negeri Sembilan figures were initially barred from entering the official residence of the Tunku Besar of Tampin.
  • The situation escalated into commotion before the Tunku Besar intervened, ordering their entry.
  • The incident occurred during a special session of the Dewan Keadilan dan Undang (DKU) held at the residence.

A special session of the Dewan Keadilan dan Undang (DKU) in Negeri Sembilan was disrupted by an incident where four prominent state figures were initially denied entry to the official residence of the Tunku Besar of Tampin.

The individuals, all members of the DKU, included the Undang Luak Jelebu, Datuk Maarof Mat Rashad; Undang Luak Johol, Datuk Muhammed Abdullah; Undang Luak Rembau, Abdul Rahim Yasin; and Datuk Syahbandar Sungei Ujong, Datuk Baharudin Abdul Khalid. Their exclusion from the Balai Kediaman Rasmi Tunku Besar Tampin caused a commotion.

The situation only de-escalated when the Tunku Besar of Tampin, Tunku Syed Razman Syed Idrus Al-Qadri, intervened. He directed the authorities to allow the dignitaries to enter, after which they proceeded into the residence.

More than 100 customary leaders, or datuk-datuk adat, were observed gathered outside the residence. Former Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Tan Sri Rais Yatim was also present at the scene.
