State stand on Tuanku Muhriz’s status as ruler, Negeri Sembilan PAS reps told
Former law minister Zaid Ibrahim says the assemblymen should clarify their position amid the dispute over the ruler’s purported removal.
Former law minister Zaid Ibrahim has urged PAS Negeri Sembilan assemblymen to clarify their stance on Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir's status as the ruler of Negeri Sembilan. The state constitution outlines provisions for the removal of a sitting ruler, and Ibrahim insists that the law must be adhered to. Removing a sitting ruler is unprecedented, he said on social media.
The removal does not matter if it is by the executive council or the chief minister. The Negeri Sembilan executive council recently released a statement affirming the legitimacy of Tuanku Muhriz's removal in April, declaring Tuanku Nadzaruddin Tuanku Ja’afar as the new ruler. However, the statement has been disputed by various figures, including the exco members and lawyer Rosli Dahlan.
Despite the controversy, several Barisan Nasional exco members, as well as a Perikatan Nasional representative, have published the statement, while only PAS assemblyman Fairuz Isa has not.
