Stop flip-flopping over ruler dispute, Aminuddin tells NS govt

Former Negeri Sembilan menteri besar Aminuddin Harun has urged state leaders to avoid flip-flopping on the legitimacy of Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, the Yang Dipertuan Besar. In a video posted on his social media, Aminuddin stressed the need for a clear and consistent position from the leadership. He emphasized that they should not succumb to pressure or fear being dishonest before Allah.

Aminuddin criticized the inconsistent statements from the state administration, particularly Ismail Lasim's initial claim that he had signed the proclamation removing Tuanku Muhriz under duress and later denying his unilateral power to do so. Meanwhile, members of the Negeri Sembilan executive council affirmed the legitimacy of Tuanku Muhriz's removal, while the Dewan Keadilan dan Undang Negeri Sembilan stated that the exco's decision had no legal effect and that Tuanku Muhriz remained the legitimate ruler.

Ismail Lasim's lawyers have now accused the state government of staging a coup, alleging that the latest statement breaches interim injunctive orders issued by the High Court.
