The Dewan Keadilan dan Undang-Undang (DKU), or State Council of Justice and Law, in Negeri Sembali has rejected claims that it interfered in matters concerning the Luak, according to its secretary. The council stated that it has accepted the decision made by the Luak to dismiss the Undang Luak Sungei Ujong, one of the traditional rulers within the state's administrative structure. The statement comes amid discussions about the appropriate division of responsibilities between the state's legal institutions and the traditional Luak governance system. The DKU's clarification underscores the council's position that it operates within its defined mandate and respects the autonomy of the Luak in making decisions affecting its leadership. The matter reflects ongoing considerations about how modern state institutions and traditional governance structures interact within Negeri Sembilan's constitutional framework.
