Peguam pertikai dakwaan Ismail dipaksa tandatangan dokumen
Peguam mendakwa kenyataan bahawa dokumen ditandatangani secara paksaan adalah pemikiran terkemudian.
A lawyer representing a party didakwa under the State of Sembilan's law has challenged claims that Negeri Sembilan's Chief Minister Ismail Lasim was forced to sign a proclamatory document lowering Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir to the position of Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan. Khairul Azam Abdul Aziz argued the statement by Ismail that he signed the document under duress was a post hoc reasoning, reported Harian Metro.
No circumstances occurred that night to compel the Negeri Sembilan Chief Minister to make such a decision, he said. Ismail attended the signing of the document along with lawyer Abu Bakar Isa Ramat, and was given explanations by the didakwa individuals regarding the decision to lower Tuanku Muhriz. Last Tuesday, several individuals, including Johol Muhammed Abdullah, claimed in a media hearing that Ismail had signed the proclamatory document lowering Tuanku Muhriz.
They alleged Ismail signed and completed the document under the provisions of Section 10(2) of the State Government Corporation Act Sembilan dated August 3. However, Ismail insisted on Tuesday that he was forced to sign the proclamatory document, and a police report was lodged the following day.
