Malaysia's Negeri Sembilan Royal Crisis Deepens Amid Claims of Grave Disloyalty to Ruler The latest development in the Negeri Sembilan royal crisis may seem like a narrow dispute over succession, but it reveals deeper fissures in Malaysia's power structures.

Similar power struggles have been playing out across Malaysia for months.
