Dato' Seri Utama Tunku Naquiyuddin ibni Almarhum Tuanku Ja'afar DK, DKYR, SPNS, SPMP, PPT, is the eldest son of Tuanku Jaafar ibni Almarhum Tuanku Abdul Rahman, the Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, who was also a former Yang di-Pertuan Agong (King) of Malaysia. Tunku Naquiyuddin served as regent of Negeri Sembilan from 1994-1999 when his father was elected as the King of Malaysia.
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.
The eldest son of Tuanku Ja'afar, of Negeri Sembilan, Tunku Naquiyuddin is a former diplomat and an active businessman with interests spanning a broad spectrum. Besides serving as Executive Chairman of Antah HealthCare Group, he sits on the Board of four public companies – Orix Leasing (M) Bhd., Kian Joo Can Factory Berhad, Sino Hua-An International Berhad, Ann Joo Resources Bhd and more recently, Noble Mineral Resources Limited, a gold exploration company listed in the Australian Securities Exchange. He was born on March 8, 1947, at the royal capital of Seri Menanti to the future Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negri Sembilan, Tuanku Ja'afar and the future Tuanku Ampuan of Negri Sembilan, Tunku Najiha binti Tunku Besar Burhanuddin.
