Don’t let political crisis cripple state administration, says Negeri Sembilan PKR

The political crisis in Negeri Sembilan threatens to disrupt the state's administration, warns PKR's state chapter. The uncertainty surrounding the state's executive council could hinder urgent matters, from investments and developments to project implementation and land transfers. This could damage investor confidence, complicate matters for landowners and businessmen, and impact employment and incomes.

State PKR chief Aminuddin Harun emphasized in a statement on the party's Facebook page that clarity on decision-making power, responsibilities, and administration continuity is crucial. Public interests should supersede political and personal considerations, he stressed.

The crisis erupted when Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, the Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, revoked the appointments of the 10 exco members on September 20. The palace claimed these members had breached their oaths of office and allegiance to the state ruler, which they had sworn to uphold on August 7. However, the state's highest customary council and the Attorney-General's Chambers deemed Tuanku Muhriz's purported removal as invalid.

Yesterday, Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Ismail Lasim met with Tuanku Muhriz, a meeting likely related to the state's administration and the ongoing situation.
