Negri govt must function as usual, says state Umno chief after meeting Zahid
KUALA LUMPUR: The Negri Sembilan government must continue to function as usual in the interests of the people, said state Umno liaison committee chairman Datuk Seri Jalaluddin Alias.
Negri Sembilan's chief Umno liaison committee member Jalaluddin Alias emphasized on Friday that the state government must operate normally for the benefit of the people following a meeting with Umno President Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. Pertang assemblyman Jalaluddin revealed that Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim had a strategy to keep the government running despite the removal of 10 executive councillors by Yang di-Pertuan Besar Tuanku Muhriz.
The state government's focus should be on serving the public, Jalaluddin stressed, reiterating the importance of maintaining services. He hinted that the Menteri Besar had a formula to keep the government functioning during this crisis, without specifics on how this would be achieved. The meeting, where executive councillors, Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional members participated, lasted for approximately three hours and concluded around 11pm.
Earlier, Zahid had given Ismail the task of sorting out the situation after the revocation of the appointments by Tuanku Muhriz, who had previously affirmed a proclamation seeking to remove him.
