Loke: Negri exco members should resign if they no longer recognise Tuanku Muhriz
KUALA LUMPUR: Negri Sembilan executive council (exco) members should step down if they no longer recognise Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir as the state’s Yang di-Pertuan Besar, DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke said.
DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke has urged Negri Sembilan executive council members to resign if they no longer recognise Tuanku Muhriz as the state's Yang di-Pertuan Besar. Loke argued that the members' recent oaths of office, combined with their lack of experience in state assembly sittings, make their current actions legally unfounded and a display of disloyalty towards the state ruler.
He emphasized that the exco's decision cannot override the Negri Sembilan Constitution or the decisions of the state Dewan Keadilan dan Undang, and that the Yang di-Pertuan Besar cannot be removed without a lawful process. Loke also warned that the exco's actions have confused and undermined the orderly administration of the state and tarnished the dignity of the royal institution.
