Amanah wants Negri MB to seek state assembly dissolution

Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) has urged Negri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim to dissolve the state legislative assembly due to ongoing tensions between the state executive and the palace. Amanah secretary-general Muhammad Faiz Fadzil revealed that the party observed Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir's decision to revoke the consent and appointment of all 10 state executive councillors who breached their oath of office during the 16th Negri Sembilan state election.

Faiz emphasized that the party would not interfere with the Yang di-Pertuan Besar's position and that the situation had evolved into a critical stage. He accused Umno of interfering with the Malay royal institution by attempting to remove the Yang di-Pertuan Besar. Faiz further urged the Menteri Besar to seek the dissolution of the state legislative assembly, stating that the confrontation between the executive and the palace is against the spirit and principles of the Negri Sembilan Constitution of 1959.
