Federal police to quiz former Negeri Sembilan exco members

In Negeri Sembilan, the Yang Dipertuan Besar, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, has dismissed the 10 executive councillors, effective immediately. These individuals were found to have violated their oaths and pledges to the state ruler, a decision made public on Monday. Following this action, the federal police have announced plans to interrogate the exco members tomorrow in Seremban.

According to an anonymous source, a Bukit Aman officer will travel to Negeri Sembilan to conduct the interviews. The former exco members have reportedly agreed to cooperate with the investigation, though the specifics of the probe have not been disclosed, though not ruled out as being related to the state's constitutional crisis.

The revocation of their appointments was made after the exco released a statement on Aug 7, ostensibly confirming Tuanku Muhriz's removal as the state ruler. On Thursday, the state's chief minister, Ismail Lasim, stated that the 10 sacked exco members remain officially appointed and are barred from entering their offices or performing their duties as exco members.

The Attorney-General, Dusuki Mokhtar, affirmed that the revocation of the exco members' appointments is valid, with seven of them belonging to the Umno party.
