According to Rocky Bru, Naquiyuddin , the eldest son of the late Yamtuan Negri Sembilan, says the paper has defamed him in an article " Long Wait over at Seri Menanti" ran early last month.
In his letter of demand, Naquiyuddin wants the paper to publish and apology and pay him RM50 million in damages.
"We have just replied to his letter of demand to say, in a nutshell, that the said article wasn't about him."
The writer, Rusdi Mustapha, is The Malay Mail regular columnist and a son of Seri Menanti himself.
After "Long Wait .." Rusdi Mustapha wrote two more articles on the palace: "Daulat Tuanku, What it means" (Oct 12, 2009) and "Installation of the 11th Yamtuan" (Oct 26, 2009). Both Naquiyuddin and Rusdi attended the installation of Tuanku Mukhriz.
