[UPDATED] IGP: Police probing Negri Sembilan royal institution issue, may involve sedition
BUTTERWORTH: Police are investigating several reports linked to the royal institution in Negri Sembilan, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail said.
Police in Malaysia are probing reports related to the royal institution in Negri Sembilan, with the possibility that it may involve sedition, stated Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail. Several individuals, including those directly involved in the reports, have been contacted to provide statements for the ongoing investigation.
The investigation team continues to assess the reports to determine the relevant legal provisions, which may include sedition or other offenses. The Attorney-General's Chambers will review the findings and decide on further actions. So far, no former state executive councillors have been summoned, and the security situation in Negri Sembilan remains stable, according to Khalid.
The impasse in the state began in April when Tuanku Muhriz was removed from his position as Yang di-Pertuan Besar, and the current members of the state executive council were allegedly barred from entering the offices at Wisma Negeri.
