Negri Sembilan government portal removes photos of 10 exco members

Seremban: A state government portal in Negri Sembilan has reportedly taken down photos of 10 former executive councillors. At 7pm today, the portal only displayed the photograph of Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim in the exco section. The exco members, including Datuk Mohd Faizal Ramli and Datuk Razali Abu Samah, took and signed their oaths of allegiance to Tuanku Muhriz on August 7 before assuming their positions.

However, Tuanku Muhriz revoked their appointments with immediate effect on September 20, citing breach of the pledge of allegiance. According to the gazette, an exco member other than the Menteri Besar holds office at the pleasure of Tuanku Muhriz. The state executive council members had previously claimed a proclamation on the election of Tunku Nadzaruddin Tuanku Ja afar had been signed and sealed by the legitimate Undangs, but this was reported to have been refuted by Ismail.
