Negeri Sembilan exco duo confirm receiving letter on sacking

In Negeri Sembilan, two state exco members have revealed they have received a letter concerning the termination of their positions. Suhaimizan Bizar, who heads the health, unity, information, national integration, and NGOs portfolios, and Fairuz Isa, overseeing entrepreneurship, human resources, climate change, cooperatives, and consumerism, have both confirmed the receipt of the letter.

Suhaimizan, when reached by Bernama, declined to comment further at the moment. Similarly, Fairuz echoed the same statement. Meanwhile, the Royal Household's Comptroller, Azizi Mohamad Ali, announced that Negeri Sembilan's ruler, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, had revoked the appointments of all 10 exco members immediately. This decision came after an investigation revealed the exco members had breached their oath of office.

According to Article XXXVIII(5) of the state constitution, all exco members, except the chief minister, serve at the will of the Yang Dipertuan Besar. The 10 exco members swore their oaths and took the pledge of allegiance before Tuanku Muhriz on August 7.
