Negeri Sembilan PH Youth questions suspension of top officials amid royal dispute
The wing says the state government must explain why the state secretary and legal adviser were suspended at the height of the dispute over the state ruler’s status.
Negeri Sembilan's Pakatan Harapan Youth has questioned the suspension of state secretary Zafir Ibrahim and state legal adviser Muzalmah Mustapha Kamal, citing the timing as suspicious amid the state's ongoing royal dispute. The youth wing emphasized the importance of the two positions in providing administrative and legal guidance to the state government, particularly as the state faces a serious crisis.
They asked the government to clearly explain the reasons for the suspension and whether it was related to the professionals' views or advice related to the crisis. If any wrongdoing or disciplinary action was involved, the government should outline the reason and the process being followed. The youth wing referenced a similar situation in 2015, where Attorney-General Abdul Gani Patail was replaced while handling 1MDB investigations and Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin was removed after criticizing the handling of the issue.
The Negeri Sembilan executive council unanimously suspended Zafir and Muzalmah, a decision announced by Chief Minister Ismail Lasim earlier today. However, the status of the state executive council is in dispute following the Yang Di Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan revoking the appointments of its members on Sunday.
