Negeri Sembilan's ruler, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, has immediately withdrawn the appointments of state executive council members, the palace announced on Sunday. This decision came after the members were found to have violated their oaths of office. The members had sworn allegiance to the ruler and the Royal Institution, pledged to safeguard the state's sovereignty, and acknowledged the authority of the Dewan Keadilan dan Undang, according to the palace statement.
However, they breached these commitments by their actions and statements on September 15, according to the report by Bernama. In response, the ruler revoked their appointments with immediate effect. The Menteri Besar, Datuk Ismail Lasim, must now submit a list of candidates for the new members of the State Executive Council for approval by the ruler, as per Article XXXVIII(2) of the state Constitution.
The ruler expects the Menteri Besar to ensure the smooth administration of Negeri Sembilan without disruption, in line with the state Constitution. The palace emphasized that the well-being of the people must be preserved during this transition. The statement, issued by Datuk Azizi Mohamad Ali, Comptroller of the Royal Household of Istana Besar Seri Menanti, was dated September 20, 2026.
