Early career
Undang of Sungai Ujong (1993–2025)
2026 Negeri Sembilan royal constitutional dispute
On 17 April 2026, Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Utama Aminuddin Harun announced that YTM Dato’ Mubarak was removed from his office as Undang of Sungei Ujong, with effect from 13 May 2025, for 33 alleged offences by YTM Dato’ Mubarak relating to the traditions and customary laws of Negeri Sembilan.[2][3] This announcement came after a special session of the Dewan Keadilan dan Undang (DKU) chaired by Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negri Sembilan Tuanku Muhriz advised the Luak of Sungei Ujong to accept Mubarak's removal, in which the Ibu Soko (matriarchal clan leaders) of the Klana Hulu and Anak Waris Klana Hulu of Sungei Ujong were also in attendance.[2][3][4]
On 20 April at the Balai Undang Luak Sungei Ujong, YTM Dato’ Mubarak and the other three Undangs (Undang of Jelebu YTM Dato’ Maarof Mat Rashad, Undang of Johol YTM Dato’ Muhammed bin Abdullah, and Undang of Rembau YTM Dato’ Abdul Rahim Yasin) declared the removal of Tuanku Muhriz over claims of alleged misconduct and named Tunku Nadzaruddin, the Tunku Panglima of Negeri Sembilan and the third son of the 10th Yang di-Pertuan Besar Tuanku Ja'afar, as the 12th Yang di-Pertuan Besar. Aminuddin rejected the declaration on the grounds that Mubarak, who signed and read the declaration, no longer held any authority as Undang, having not received the mandate from the Ibu Soko Klana Hulu and Anak Waris Klana Hulu.[2][4][5] On the following day, the four Undang claimed that Mubarak's removal was not valid as the DKU members who were present during the special session did not make a decision on the matter and that the other three Undang did not agree with Mubarak's removal.[6] On 30 April, Mubarak was ordered to vacate the official residence of the Undang of Sungai Ujong.[7]
On 5 May, 29-year-old accountant Muhammad Faris Johari, the second child of Johari Meor Ngah and Ibu Soko Klana Hulu Shazlina Dato’ Sinda Maharaja Haji Abd Karim, was appointed as the new Undang of Sungai Ujong.[8][9] Faris' appointment was rejected by the Datuk-Datuk Lembaga Adat Sungei Ujong due to the appointment of an Undang of Sungei Ujong requires the unanimous consent of all Ibu Soko of both the Waris Klana Hulu and Waris Klana Hilir lineages, as well as the unanimous approval of all legitimate Datuk-Datuk Lembaga Adat Sungei Ujong. Also, the official declaration must also be made by the Datuk Shahbandar of Sungei Ujong. The Datuk-Datuk Lembaga Adat Sungei Ujong added that Orang Kaya Datuk Laksamana Shaharumzaman Abdul Malek and Datuk Andulika Mandulika Tua Lembaga Waris di-Darat Zainol Ariffin, who released the official statement and the confirmation of Faris' appointment, respectively, have both been previously sacked by the DKU while pledging their support to Mubarak as the legitimate Undang of Sungei Ujong.[10][11]
