Negeri Sembilan DAP lodges report over FB post linking party to state crisis

Negeri Sembilan DAP chairman J Arul Kumar lodged a police report over a Facebook post that allegedly linked the party to the state's ongoing crisis and the royal institution. The post, written by Khalide Al Walid, claimed connections between DAP and the Yang Dipertuan Besar, a matter the chairman deemed serious due to the royal institution's non-political status.

Arul stated that as a party, they are used to criticism but when the royal institution is implicated, that line should not be crossed. He also mentioned that other issues, like the transfer of customary land ownership and road renaming, were alleged in the post. However, he stressed that such matters are decided by the state executive council and should not be attributed to any political party.

Arul, who has served as a state executive councillor for eight years, emphasized that the transfer of customary land ownership had never come up in his tenure. The renaming of roads, he added, should not be linked to any party as it is the responsibility of the state executive council. DAP's stance was clear: they do not want these issues politicized and want the crisis in Negeri Sembilan resolved promptly to ensure smooth state administration.
