Negeri Sembilan exco suspends state secretary, legal adviser

Pahang's Chief Minister Ismail Lasim has announced the immediate suspension of the state secretary and legal adviser for Negeri Sembilan. The decision was made during a special meeting of the state executive council. State Secretary Zafir Ibrahim and Legal Adviser Muzalmah Mustapha Kamal will no longer hold their positions. The suspension notice will be forwarded to the Chief Secretary to the Government and the Public Service Department for the secretary, and to the Attorney-General’s Chambers for the legal adviser.

This comes after Negeri Sembilan administration declined to proceed with the Chief Minister's request to gazette a proclamation regarding the removal of Tuanku Muhriz as Yang Di Pertuan Besar. The state secretary's office opted not to act on the request after considering the Attorney-General's Chamber's perspective on the April 19 proclamation.

The suspension was approved unanimously, ensuring all actions align with the state's constitution and laws.
