MB N Sembilan nafi Zahid terbabit usaha jatuhkan Tuanku Muhriz

Negeri Sembilan's Chief Minister Ismail Lasim has denied allegations that Umno President Zahid Hamidi is involved in any efforts to topple Sultan Muhriz, Tuanku Muhriz. According to a report by The Straits Times dated September 8, 2026, Ismail stated in a statement, "I categorically deny any involvement of Zahid in any attempt to overthrow Tuanku Muhriz as the Yang Di Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan."

He always supports the Umno president and the entire party leadership, who always uphold, protect, and preserve the prestige of the Raja Melayu institution and the principles of the Raja Berperlembagaan. In this regard, Ismail expressed hope that the adat issue in Negeri Sembilan could be resolved well and with wisdom, all for the sake of ensuring stability, harmony, and welfare for the people of Negeri Sembilan.

On the previous Sunday, Ismail, along with the state government, demonstrated full allegiance and loyalty to Tuanku Muhriz. He said that this follows the statement of the Four Secretariat's office demanding the state administration to remain loyal, especially in the administration of the state government, to adhere to the proclamation of the transfer of power from Tuanku Muhriz, which Ismail is alleged to have signed in the Istana Laguna Biru, Port Dickson, last month.

Ismail emphasized his current focus on fulfilling his responsibility as the Chief Minister for the benefit of the people and the state.
