Four members of parliament have withdrawn their application for judicial review in connection with efforts to secure an abdication proclamation from Negeri Sembilan's chief minister, according to court filings.
The lawmakers had previously sought to compel the Menteri Besar to execute a proclamation that would have removed Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir from his position as Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan. The exact reasons for the withdrawal were not immediately disclosed.
The move marks a significant development in what had been an ongoing constitutional matter affecting the state's highest office. The case had drawn attention given its implications for the state's traditional leadership structure.
No further details were available regarding the circumstances surrounding the decision to withdraw the judicial review application. The matter had been pending before the courts as the four parliamentarians sought judicial intervention in the constitutional process.
