Back to this:
Imagine your wife winning PS5 at the office and she gives another man at the office with smiles and pictures.
And she comes home to tell you then gaslight you that you're overreacting when you complain.
I swear she hates you.
Today I Learned: There is actually a documented constitutional process to remove a Yang di-Pertuan Besar in Negeri Sembilan.
I went to look up how this is actually supposed to work. Back to my
Negeri Sembilan is the only Malaysian state where the ruler is elected, not hereditary.
The Yang di-Pertuan Besar is chosen by the four Undang Luak from Sungai Ujong, Jelebu, Johol, and Rembau.
This tradition goes back to 1773 and follows Minangkabau adat perpatih.
The state constitution is called Undang-Undang Tubuh Kerajaan Negeri Sembilan 1959 or UUTKNS.
Article 10 of the UUTKNS gives the four Undang Luak a prerogative power to suspend or remove the Yang di-Pertuan Besar on specific grounds.
The grounds listed are breach of Syariah law, conviction of a criminal offence, being of unsound mind, contravening the state constitution, or being deemed no longer fit for the position.
Articles 10 to 12 govern the overall process.
Any such action has to go through the Dewan Keadilan dan Undang or DKU.
That is the Council of the Yang di-Pertuan Besar and Ruling Chiefs.
Now, on the current situation.
Per statements from Menteri Besar, the state government's position is that the declaration read by Mubarak Dohak is not recognised.
The reasoning cited is that Mubarak was himself allegedly removed as Undang Luak Sungai Ujong effective 13 May 2025 for 33 alleged offences related to pesaka and adat Telaga Undang, Waris Klana Hulu.
The Dewan Keadilan dan Undang reportedly convened a special sitting at Istana Besar Seri Menanti on 17 April 2026, chaired by Tuanku Muhriz, and accepted Mubarak's removal under Clause 14(3) of the UUTKNS.
Since the constitutional power to invoke Articles 10 to 12 sits with a sitting Undang, the state government says the declaration has no legal standing.
Is there precedent for removing an Undang? Yes.
According to the MB's statement, the 14th Undang Luak Johol, Datuk Mohammad Jan Abdul Ghani, was dismissed on 27 March 2016 for 13 offences related to Luak Johol customs.
That also went through the DKU.
Is there precedent for actually removing a Yang di-Pertuan Besar using Article 10? Based on publicly available records, no.
The mechanism exists on paper but has not been used in modern history.
There have been succession disputes before.
One more interesting detail.
The process for removing a Yang di-Pertuan Agong at federal level, set out in the Third Schedule of the Federal Constitution, was reportedly modelled partly on this Negeri Sembilan system.
The Conference of Rulers has similar prerogative powers nationally as the Undang Yang Empat have at state level.
TIL Malaysia's oldest elected monarchy has a 66-year-old written rulebook for almost every scenario, including this one.
“Kenapa perlu berdoa sedangkan Allah dah tahu isi hati kita?”
Ya, memang benar. Allah Maha Mengetahui.
Tapi doa bukan sekadar “memberitahu” Allah.
Doa ada makna yang jauh lebih besar.
1. Doa adalah tanda kehambaan
“Berdoalah kepadaKu, nescaya Aku perkenankan” (Al Ghafir: 60)
A man was once asked, "How do you find peace during hardships?"
He replied, "I stopped questioning why and started saying,
'Hasbunallah wa ni'mal wakeel'
Allah is sufficient for me, and He is the best disposer of affairs."
Doa ini cantik.
Zaid bin Thabit cerita yang Nabi ajarkan dia doa ini. Dan Nabi minta supaya dia dan keluarganya amalkan doa ini:
"Ya Allah, aku mohon kepada-Mu keredhaan setelah terlaksananya takdir,
kenyamanan hidup selepas kematian,
kenikmatan melihat wajah-Mu,
dan kerinduan untuk bertemu dengan-Mu."
Sebenarnya apabila mantan MB Perlis letak jawatan, maka secara automatik semua Exco juga hilang jawatan. Maka tidak timbul ‘Exco sedia ada melepaskan jawatan’, sebab memang sudah tiada jawatan lagi.
We entered Rajab just a few days back, we've less than 2 months to Ramadan, practice self-control. Avoid looking at inappropriate contents on your phone and lower your gaze. Remember, this is one of the four sacred months, and sins committed during this time carry greater weight.
Sebenarnya kejadian di Perlis ni bukan rahsia.
Perlis kerugian selama tiga tahun ni sebab dapat MB yang tak kompeten. Tapi MB ni besan Presiden PAS.
Anak MB pun loklaq. Siap ada kes dengan SPRM berkaitan perbekalan kepada DYMM Raja Perlis. Tapi anak MB ni menantu Hadi Awang.
PAS Perlis dah cuba cara baik turunkan MB Perlis.
Mola-mola depa turunkan dia dari jadi Ketua PAS Kawasan.
Tapi MB dok situ jugak tak reti nak turun. Bebal.
Lepas tu depa tak pilih dia jadi AJK PAS Pusat.
MB masih buat dek. Benak.
Kemudian dia diturunkan dari menjadi Pesuruhjaya PAS Perlis.
MB masih buat tak tau. Baghal.
Akhirnya cara terakhir ialah terpaksa ADUN tarik sokongan.
Tapi mai pulak besan dia, iaitu Hadi Awang yang gi pecat tiga orang ADUN yang tarik sokongan pada MB si besan dia.
Baru dia nak letak jawatan bila tengok tiga kawan dia disingkirkan.
Ni baru negeri kecik. Habis kacau bilau sbb suka buat bodoh dan bebal.
Negeri rugi, rakyat sengsara.
Redah je. Do it afraid, do it tired, do it even when you think you’re not good enough, you’re not ready. You will improve along the way. That fear is not a bad thing. That fear shows you’re self aware. Fearful people are careful.
But don’t just be fearful, be hopeful too.
As a university professor, I rarely hear from students after the final exam. However, there are always a handful of students who will send personal notes or emails after the semester is over. These mean more to me than you could possibly imagine.
Students, if you enjoy the class, let the teacher know. They truly love hearing it.
Malaysia has the Sipadan Pygmy Seahorse!
These guys are masters in camouflage and can only be found near the gorgonian corals of Pulau Sipadan, Sabah
Got the opportunity to see them when I went diving there! (Not my pics)
FYI : Dalam Islam benar, taat pada suami.
Taat yg bagaimana? Menjalankan perintah suami sepanjang sesuai dengan aturan Allah SWT.
Suami yg bagaimana? Suami yg memilik 3 unsur tadi provide, protect, lead yg memang mencerminkan sifat qawwam.
