Police to quiz former Negri Sembilan exco members

KUALA LUMPUR: The police, specifically Bukit Aman, are set to question the 10 former executive councillors of Negri Sembilan, whose appointments were terminated. These statements will be collected in Seremban today. A representative from Bukit Aman is scheduled to visit Negri Sembilan tomorrow. Former exco members have agreed to cooperate, according to a source who spoke to FMT.

The source, however, did not disclose further details but did not rule out a connection to the state's constitutional crisis. Negri Sembilan's Yang di-Pertuan Besar, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, has overturned the appointments of state executive council members, citing their breach of the oath of office. The crisis has been ongoing since April, following the proclamation by Undang Yang Empat to remove Tuanku Muhriz as the Yang di-Pertuan Besar.

Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim is among those said to have signed the proclamation, though he later claimed he did so under coercion. He maintains that the present exco arrangement remains valid, as the members were barred from entering the offices at Wisma Negeri last week.
