G25: Resolve Negri Sembilan crisis according to Constitution, law
KUALA LUMPUR: G25 Malaysia today called for the Federal and State Constitutions and the rule of law to be upheld in resolving the issue surrounding the position of the Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negri Sembilan Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir.
KUALA LUMPUR: Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi will convene a meeting with all 25 Negri Sembilan assemblymen from Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional tonight at the party's headquarters. The purpose of the gathering is to explore options to resolve the ongoing political crisis in the state without interfering in its administration.
Dr Zahid emphasized that the meeting was intended to coordinate efforts towards finding the best solution to the crisis, but the mandate given to the majority of the assemblymen to continue must be prioritized. The state administration must continue to function smoothly following the revocation of the appointments of 10 state executive councillors, which took effect on September 20.
This revocation occurred after the 10 exco members breached their oath of allegiance to the Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negri Sembilan, Tuanku Muhriz. The dispute centers on Tuanku Muhriz's status as Yang di-Pertuan Besar and the constitutional validity of a proclamation seeking his removal, which has been ongoing since April.
