Negeri Sembilan exco duo confirm receiving letter on sacking

In Negeri Sembilan, two assemblymen from the state executive council, Suhaimizan Bizar and Fairuz Isa, have disclosed receiving a letter regarding the termination of their appointments. Suhaimizan, who chairs the health, unity, information, national integration, and NGOs portfolios, stated he received the letter yesterday, though he declined to provide further details at the time.

Fairuz, responsible for entrepreneurship, human resources, climate change, cooperatives, and consumerism, echoed the same statement. The revocation of their positions was confirmed by Azizi Mohamad Ali, the Comptroller of the Royal Household, who revealed that Negeri Sembilan's ruler, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, had stripped the 10 exco members of their roles with immediate effect.

The decision came after the exco members were alleged to have breached their oath of office. According to Article XXXVIII(5) of the state's constitution, non-menteri besar exco members serve at the discretion of the Yang Dipertuan Besar. The ten members had previously sworn allegiance to Tuanku Muhriz on August 7.
