Negeri Sembilan DAP lodges police report over Facebook post linking party to ongoing crisis, royal institution

Seremban, on October 1, the Negeri Sembilan DAP party lodged a police report over a Facebook post that allegedly connected the party to the state's ongoing crisis, the royal institution, and other sensitive matters. State DAP chairman J. Arul Kumar alleged that a Facebook account named Khalide Al Walid had made serious claims, linking the Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan to the DAP party, as well as implicating the party in issues related to customary land, elected representatives attending religious briefings, and road renaming.

The chairman emphasized that the allegations were grave, particularly in relation to the royal institution, which must remain unconnected to any political party. Arul Kumar informed that DAP would allow the police to investigate the accusations, including finding the account's owner and background, and considering the appropriate legal action.

He added that DAP elected representatives attended religious briefings in their capacity as representatives seeking information for their constituents, especially Muslim voters. The chairman clarified that decisions on road renaming were made by the State Executive Council and should not be attributed to any political party. Arul Kumar stressed that DAP did not wish to politicize the issues or link them to the party, as the ongoing crisis in Negeri Sembilan needed to be resolved promptly for effective state administration.
