In a place called Negeri Sembilan, they have a very special way of choosing their King.

Imagine a kingdom where, instead of the King’s son automatically becoming the next leader, there are four powerful "Grand Chiefs" called the Undang who get to decide who is in charge. These four chiefs represent four different areas: Sungai Ujong, Jelebu, Johol, and Rembau.

Whenever it is time for a new leader, these chiefs look at the royal princes and vote for the one they think will do the best job. But there is another very big rule: if these chiefs feel the King is not behaving well or can no longer do his work, they actually have the power to "fire" him.

Right now, the kingdom is having a bit of a squabble. One of the chiefs, Datuk Mubarak, said he wanted to remove the current King, Tuanku Muhriz, and pick a new one named Tunku Nadzaruddin.

However, the state’s big leader, the Menteri Besar, says that Datuk Mubarak isn't allowed to make that choice anymore. He says that Datuk Mubarak was actually fired from his own job as a chief last year for breaking 33 important rules. So now, everyone is looking at the big "Rule Book" of the state to see who is actually right and who should be the leader.
