Business as usual for Negeri Sembilan secretary
Zafir Ibrahim says he has yet to receive an official letter concerning his purported suspension by the former state exco.
Negeri Sembilan's secretary, Zafir Ibrahim, is continuing his duties despite claims of suspension. The state's chief minister, Ismail Lasim, announced the suspension of Ibrahim and legal adviser Muzalmah Mustapha Kamal during a special meeting of the state executive council. However, Ibrahim maintains that the suspension is invalid and was not officially communicated to him in writing.
He has received advice from the Attorney-General and other legal experts stating the suspension is not valid. Ibrahim continues to perform his responsibilities as per Chief Secretary Shamsul Azri's instruction. The suspension notice is to be forwarded to relevant authorities, but this move is being contested as the state executive council has been dismissed by the Yang Dipertuan Besar.
The Attorney-General's Chambers and other commissions assert that only they hold authority over such appointments and suspensions.
