Anwar arrives at Istana Negeri Sembilan for audience with Tuanku Muhriz
The prime minister, his deputy Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and menteri besar Ismail Lasim are expected to be granted an audience with the Yang Dipertuan Besar.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim arrived at Istana Negeri Sembilan in Kuala Lumpur at 6pm today, accompanied by several vehicles. The delegation included Anwar Ibrahim, his deputy Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, and Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Ismail Lasim. They are set to meet with Yang Dipertuan Besar Tuanku Muhriz, according to Bernama. The meeting is taking place amidst a dispute over Tuanku Muhriz's role as the state ruler.
Media personnel had been present outside the palace since 2pm, and several police vehicles were seen entering the palace compound around 5pm. Earlier, the Negeri Sembilan palace announced that Tuanku Muhriz had dismissed 10 members of the state executive council for allegedly violating their oath of office and pledge of allegiance before him on August 7.
The council members claimed they had breached their oath through their actions and statements on September 15. Last week, the exco released a joint statement supporting Tuanku Muhriz's removal as Yang Dipertuan Besar, which Ismail Lasim later endorsed.
