Revocation of 10 Negri Sembilan exco appointments valid, says A-G
KUALA LUMPUR: The revocation of the appointments of 10 Negri Sembilan State Executive Council (Exco) members is valid under the state Constitution, said Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar.
The revocation of appointments for 10 exco members in Negri Sembilan is deemed valid by the Attorney-General's office under the state Constitution, according to Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar. The state gazette made the appointments void on September 20, following the breach of their oath to Tuanku Muhriz. The revocation was carried out under Article 38(5) of the Negri Sembilan Constitution of 1959.
The 10 individuals involved include Datuk Mohd Faizal Ramli, Datuk Zaifulbahri Idris, and several others. This move came a week after the exco members issued a statement supporting a proclamation to remove Tuanku Muhriz. However, the state's Disputes Committee argued that the proclamation was not valid under the Constitution or customary law.
The ongoing dispute revolves around Tuanku Muhriz's role as Yang di-Pertuan Besar and the constitutionality of the proclamation seeking his removal. The Attorney-General's Chambers has previously ruled the proclamation as invalid, stating there were no grounds for Tuanku Muhriz's removal according to the state Constitution.
