Negeri Sembilan Ruler revokes exco appointments over breach of oath, orders MB to propose new line-up

Negeri Sembilan's Ruler, Tuanku Muhriz, has revoked the appointments of the state's executive councillors with immediate effect, citing their alleged breach of oath. The statement from Istana Besar Seri Menanti revealed that the exco members had taken and signed their oath and pledge of allegiance to the Ruler and the royal institution before their appointments on August 7.
However, their actions and statements on September 15 led to the revocation of their positions. The September 15 meeting saw the exco unanimously decide on an Instrument of Proclamation concerning Tuanku Muhriz's removal, which the state government later gazetted. Each exco member has been individually informed of the revocation in writing.
The Ruler expects the Menteri Besar to submit a list of candidates for a new State Executive Council, ensuring the administration of Negeri Sembilan continues without disruption and the public's interests are protected. This comes amid a constitutional dispute over Tuanku Muhriz's position, with conflicting statements from the Dewan Keadilan dan Undang and the Attorney General's Chambers regarding the validity of the Ruler's position and the proclamation removing him.
