Negri Sembilan crisis: MB, former excos, assemblymen arrive at Umno HQ for meeting
KUALA LUMPUR: Negri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim and several state assemblymen have begun arriving at the Umno headquarters here to attend a meeting on the constitutional crisis in the state.
Negri Sembilan's Chief Minister Datuk Ismail Lasim, along with several former state executive councillors and assemblymen, have gathered at the Umno headquarters in Kuala Lumpur to address the constitutional crisis plaguing the state. Among the attendees are three former executive councillors - Datuk Razali Abu Samah from Sikamat, Datuk Zaifulbahri Idris from Chembong, and Datuk Mohd Faizal Ramli from Linggi.
Pertang's Datuk Seri Jalaluddin Alias, who chairs the Negri Sembilan Umno liaison committee, was also seen arriving at the location.
Earlier, Umno President Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi announced his intention to meet all 25 Negri Sembilan assemblymen from Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional. The meeting aimed to explore solutions for resolving the political crisis without interfering in the state administration. Zahid emphasized that the assemblymen's perspectives would be considered when determining potential options.
The crisis escalated after the revocation of appointments of 10 state executive councillors by Negri Sembilan's Yang di-Pertuan Besar, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, effective September 20. The revocation was based on Article 38(5) of the Negri Sembilan Constitution, citing breaches of allegiance. The decision came a week after the 10 councillors issued a statement supporting a proclamation to remove Tuanku Muhriz.
However, the Dewan Keadilan dan Undang deemed the proclamation invalid according to state constitution, law, and customs.
