Stop flip-flopping over ruler dispute, Aminuddin tells NS govt
The former menteri besar says the state government must take a clear stand on the issue.
Former Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Aminuddin Harun has urged political leaders to stop vacillating on the issue of Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir's legitimacy as the Yang Dipertuan Besar. In a recent video, Aminuddin directly addressed the state government, stating that they cannot continue to alter their positions. He emphasized that it is not a matter of managing a small store, but rather governing a state, and therefore, a clear stance is necessary.
Aminuddin further advised against succumbing to pressure and cautioned against dishonesty before Allah. This comes amid the administration's fluctuating stances on Tuanku Muhriz's removal. Initially, Ismail Lasim, Aminuddin's successor, claimed the removal was under duress and declared the proclamation invalid. However, he later acknowledged his lack of unilateral power to remove the ruler.
Meanwhile, Negeri Sembilan's executive council affirmed the legitimacy of Tuanku Muhriz's removal, suggesting that Tuanku Nadzaruddin Tuanku Ja'far became the new ruler. This has led to a legal dispute, with Tuanku Muhriz's lawyers alleging that the state government staged a coup by declaring his removal, which they claim breaches interim court orders.
