Jemputan saat akhir, Jalaluddin nafi boikot majlis lantik MB
Pengerusi BN Negeri Sembilan berkata beliau perlu menghadiri sebuah program di kawasannya.
Negeri Sembilan BN Secretary Jalaluddin Alias stated he was not disappointed he was not appointed as the Chief Minister, as his primary goal is to witness a change in state administration. During today's meeting, Jalaluddin interrupted the call for him to boycott the inauguration and investiture ceremony by saying that such a call was only received late.
The adun from Pertang said the invitation reached him at around 4.50 am, but it was only after performing his morning prayer and having other commitments in his constituency. "The call was made at the last minute. I accepted it from Protocol at 4.50 am. I read it after Subuh prayer, while I have arranged another program in my area that requires my presence," he said according to Bernama.
Jalaluddin's absence sparked various reactions on social media, including speculations that he might boycott the ceremony held at the Seri Menanti Palace, Kuala Pilah. He clarified that at present, the most important thing is to ensure the newly formed state government can effectively administer the state after winning the PRN held on Saturday.
"The people of Negeri Sembilan have given us a mandate. Our responsibility now is to ensure that all the promises made in the manifesto are fulfilled. The management of the government also needs to be upgraded compared to the previous administration," he emphasized. Clearly, Jalaluddin was not disappointed he could not lead the Negeri Sembilan government, even though his name was mentioned among the candidates for Chief Minister before.
"In my heart, I am not disappointed or disheartened. My primary goal is to see this state administration change, which has already been achieved. I am grateful to God for this success." Earlier today, Juasseh adun Ismail Lasim took the oath as the Chief Minister of Negeri Sembilan in front of the Sultan of Negeri Sembilan, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir.
Ismail explained that the invitation to all aduns was issued by the Chief Secretary's Office, but some members of the rakyat could not attend due to having other commitments.
