Pemecatan exco Negeri Sembilan sah, kata peguam negara
Dusuki Mokhtar berkata warta pembatalan itu sejajar Perkara 38(5) Undang-undang Tubuh Kerajaan Negeri Sembilan.
Pemegang hukum Negeri Sembilan, Dusuki Mokhtar, confirmed on Thursday that the disqualification of 10 exco members is in line with the state's legal provisions. According to him, the announcement of the disqualification dated September 20, which complied with Article 38(5) of the State Government Body Act 1959, was valid. Article 38(5) of the State Government Body Act 1959 states that an exco member, apart from the Chief Minister, holds their position only as long as permitted by the Yang Di-Pertuan Besar, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir.
The state administration announced the disqualification of these 10 exco members on Thursday, with their disqualification taking effect on September 20. The announcement stated that their appointment was cancelled and invalidated due to violating the oath of loyalty to Tuanku Muhriz. The 10 former exco members include seven Umno representatives - Mustapha Nagoor (Palong), Faizal Ramli (Linggi), Zaiful Bahri Idris (Chembong), Razi Ali (Sungai Lui), Asna Amin (Lenggeng), Siti Nur Umaira Hasim (Labu) and Suhaimizan Bizar (Gemencheh) and three others - Siow Kong Choon (Chennah) from MCA, Fairuz Isa (Serting) of PAS and Razali Abu Samah (Sikamat) of Wawasan.
The disqualification occurred a week after they issued a statement allegedly supporting the dismissal of Tuanku Muhriz as the Yang Di-Pertuan Besar, before being endorsed by the Chief Minister, Ismail Lasim shortly after. However, the matter is currently under review by the State Court of Appeal and the State Law and Peguam departments.
