MELAKA: Former Dewan Negara president Tan Sri Rais Yatim is expected to be charged at the Ayer Keroh Sessions Court tomorrow.
The charge is expected to be brought under the Sedition Act in connection with the crisis involving the Negri Sembilan royal institution, Sinar Harian reported.
Checks showed that the case would be heard before Ayer Keroh Sessions Court 2 Judge Raja Noor Adilla Raja Mahyaldin.
The case is believed to be related to the proclamation of Tunku Nazaruddin Tuanku Jaafar as the 12th Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negri Sembilan at a ceremony held at a hotel in Melaka on June 5.
In July, Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negri Sembilan Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir ordered the withdrawal of the state honours conferred on Rais, who is also a former menteri besar.
Rais has played a role in the ongoing royal dispute in Negri Sembilan by openly supporting a move by three undang and a former undang to remove Tuanku Muhriz from the throne.
The six-term former Jelebu member of parliament was among those present when Tunku Nadzaruddin Tuanku Ja'afar was allegedly proclaimed the new Yang di-Pertuan Besar at a hotel in Melaka in June.
The Negri Sembilan palace later declared the proclamation unconstitutional, unlawful and contrary to state customs - NST
