Zaid gesa PAS bersuara, pastikan prosedur isu Tuanku Muhriz dipatuhi
Bekas menteri undang-undang itu yang kini bersama PAS berkata jika proses ditetapkan perlembagaan negeri tidak dipatuhi, Tuanku Muhriz kekal Yang Dipertuan Besar.
Former Malaysian Deputy Minister of Law, Zaid Ibrahim, has urged the Negeri Sembilan state delegation within the PAS party to raise their voices on the issue of Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir's position and ensure that the procedures of the Negeri Sembilan State Constitution are followed. Speaking on Facebook, Ibrahim highlighted that a government in power is a rare occurrence, and the Negeri Sembilan State Constitution has provisions regarding the process in question.
"PAS must ensure that the law is upheld. If not, Tuanku Muhriz remains Yang Di Pertuan Besar," he stated. The controversy surrounding Tuanku Muhriz's position came to the forefront after the Negeri Sembilan State Exco declared the abdication of the monarch in April last year as valid. The exco claimed that the proclamation made on April 19 was signed and registered by the State Constitution and later confirmed by the Chief Minister, Ismail Lasim, on August 3.
According to the exco, this process made the proclamation complete in accordance with Section 10(2) of the Negeri Sembilan State Constitution 1959, while Tuanku Nadzaruddin Tuanku Ja’afar now remains as the Yang Di Pertuan Besar. However, this claim contradicts the Legal and Constitutional Issues Department (DKU), which maintains that Tuanku Muhriz continues to be the Yang Di Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan.
Meanwhile, Rembau-based Undang Luak Hassan Ab Hamid also contested the exco's statement, stating that the main issue is whether the investigation into whether a review of Tuanku Muhriz's abdication was conducted prior to the decision to remove him from the throne was carried out. The Negeri Sembilan state government has two National Front (PN) representatives in the exco, namely Serting Fairuz Isa and Sikamat Razali Abu Samah.
In addition to Fairuz, PAS has three additional state assemblymen, and the National Vision Party (Wawasan) is represented by three additional members of parliament from Negeri Sembilan, including Razali.
