Tuanku Muhriz, the Regent of Negeri Sembilan, has formally endorsed Azrin Khairi for the position of Undang Luak Jelebu, an important customary leadership role in the state's administrative structure.
In delivering his approval, Tuanku Muhriz underscored a fundamental principle regarding the maintenance of adat, or customary practice. The Regent noted that efforts to preserve traditional customs must be grounded in respect for adat itself, rather than achieved through violations of its established protocols and procedures.
The endorsement represents an important recognition within Negeri Sembilan's traditional governance framework, which continues to play a significant role in state affairs. The Undang Luak positions are custodians of customary law and tradition in their respective districts.
Tuanku Muhriz's statement reflects the delicate balance required in modern governance between honouring established customs and ensuring those customs are upheld through legitimate and proper channels.
