Negeri Sembilan exco overstepped its powers by suspending two top officials, says AGC

The Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) has criticized the Negeri Sembilan State Executive Council for overstepping its powers by suspending the duties of the state secretary and state legal adviser. According to a statement released by the AGC, appointment matters, including the suspension of duties for these positions, are the responsibility of the Public Services Commission and the Judicial and Legal Services Commission, respectively, as outlined in Article 37 of the Negeri Sembilan State Constitution 1959.

The AGC emphasized that the Negeri Sembilan State Executive Council does not have the legal authority to make such decisions, prompting the appointment of a new state legal adviser through the Judicial and Legal Services Commission.
