About this episode
The episode discusses a constitutional dispute in Negeri Sembilan involving the removal of the Undang of Sungai Ujong and the implications for state authority.
A dispute in Negeri Sembilan has escalated following the removal of the Undang of Sungai Ujong, and a subsequent call for the Yang DiPertuan Besar to step down. This has raised questions over process and legality. The Menteri Besar is now under scrutiny, while the Prime Minister says the matter should be resolved under state law. We speak with constitutional lawyer, Lim Wei Jiet, to understand where authority lies. Image Credit: Shutterstock See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
