Cops posed more than 60 questions, says former Negeri Sembilan exco man
Officers from Bukit Aman classified crime investigation unit quizzed 10 executive councillors whose appointments were revoked on Sept 20.
Former Negeri Sembilan executive councillor Asna Amin revealed that he provided over 60 answers to police questioning on the state's administrative and royal crisis. The statement session took place at the Negeri Sembilan Islamic religious council building in Seremban, involving 10 former exco members and several others. They departed around 2pm following the inquiry, according to Utusan Malaysia.
Asna emphasized that the process was conducted professionally and that they answered the questions accurately. He also stated that all official vehicles and state government property would be returned today, as ordered by the state secretary.
Meanwhile, Serting assemblyman Fairuz Isa mentioned that it took him approximately two hours to furnish his statement. "Everything was answered properly," he affirmed. Inspector-General of Police Khalid Ismail informed that the 10 former exco members were summoned to assist in the investigation into the state's royal and administrative crisis, though he did not disclose further details. The possibility of classifying the case under the Sedition Act was mentioned, but not ruled out.
Former Negeri Sembilan ruler Tuanku Muhriz was removed from his position on August 7, following the palace's claim that the exco members breached their oaths of office and allegiance to the state ruler. This action was taken a day after the exco released a joint statement supporting Tuanku Muhriz's removal. The crisis escalated in April with the purported removal of Tuanku Muhriz, which was later deemed invalid by the state's highest customary council and the Attorney-General's Chambers.
