Tunku Dato' Seri Utama Naquiyuddin ibni Almarhum Tuanku Ja'afar (born 8 March 1947) is a member of Negeri Sembilan royal family who is the Tunku Laxamana. He is the eldest son of Tuanku Jaafar ibni Almarhum Tuanku Abdul Rahman, the tenth Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, who was also the tenth Yang di-Pertuan Agong (King) of Malaysia. He served as the Regent of Negeri Sembilan from 1994 until 1999 when his father was elected as the King of Malaysia.[1]
Suave, charming and debonair, Tunku Naquiyuddin had been for years one of Malaysia's most well-known member of royalty, and was widely expected to succeed his father as the Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan. However he was bypassed as Ruler in favour of his cousin, Tunku Muhriz, upon the death of his father.
