The Negeri Sembilan Royal Row: Signing Document to Depose Ruler an Act of Treason, Says Council The recent declaration by Negeri Sembilan's Dewan Keadilan dan Undang (DKU) council that signing a document to depose Tuanku Muhriz is an act of treason has sparked a fresh wave of intrigue in the Malaysian state.
