Who coerced you to sign proclamation, Negeri Sembilan MB asked
DAP's Syahredzan Johan says this new development now involves the continuity and security of the nation's rulers and institutions.
Negeri Sembilan's Chief Minister Ismail Lasim alleged he was coerced into signing a proclamation to remove Tuanku Muhriz as the state ruler. DAP vice-chairman Syahredzan Johan has called on Ismail to disclose the identity of the individual who compelled him to sign the document, citing a report by Singapore's The Straits Times. The DAP leader also questions whether top Umno leaders were involved in the incident.
Ismail has stated that he signed the proclamation under duress and has filed a police report for further investigation. However, four purported undangs presented a document dated August 3, which they claim Ismail signed, along with four other chieftains. These alleged undangs dispute the positions they hold. The menteri besar rejected the document's validity, claiming it did not adhere to the procedures outlined in Article 10 of the Laws of the Constitution of Negeri Sembilan 1959.
Ismail also denied that Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi was involved in the attempts to remove Tuanku Muhriz.
