25 Negri assemblymen meeting focused on public service, not palace issue – Jalaluddin

KUALA LUMPUR: A gathering of 25 Negri Sembilan assemblymen convened tonight, excluding discussions on Mentri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim's meeting with the Yang Di Pertuan Besar of Negri Sembilan, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir. The assemblymen's liaison committee chairman, Datuk Seri Jalaluddin Alias, clarified that the meeting's primary focus was on ensuring all elected representatives of the government bloc remained dedicated to serving their respective constituencies, while simultaneously bolstering the party.

Jalaluddin revealed that Barisan Nasional chairman Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had reminded the assemblymen to avoid distraction from current state affairs and instead concentrate on upholding public service commitments amidst the political landscape in the state. The 25 assemblymen were given a unified directive to execute their duties in their respective constituencies, enhance the party, and adhere to their roles as elected representatives.

The meeting also included Umno secretary-general Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki and BN secretary-general Dr Zambry Abd Kadir.
