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

Pahang DAP chairman J Arul Kumar lodged a police report today regarding a Facebook post that allegedly connected the party to the state's current crisis and the monarchy. The post, purportedly authored by Khalide Al Walid, suggested connections between DAP and the Yang Dipertuan Besar. State DAP chairman Arul Kumar emphasized the gravity of the allegations, noting that they implicated the monarchy, a body meant to be separate from party politics.

Arul Kumar remarked that while DAP is used to facing criticism and pressure, linking the monarchy to a political party is a line that should not be crossed. He made this statement after filing the report at Seremban police station. The DAP leader stated that the party would allow the police to investigate the matter, including determining the identity of the post's author and whether to pursue legal action.

The Facebook post also purportedly implicated DAP in other issues, such as the transfer of customary land ownership and the renaming of roads.

Arul Kumar, who serves as the Nilai assemblyman, highlighted that the transfer of customary land ownership has never been discussed during his tenure as a state executive councillor. He further explained that the decision to rename roads is made by the state executive council and should not be associated with any political party. Kumar stressed that DAP does not wish to politicize the issues at hand and that resolving the crisis in Negeri Sembilan swiftly is essential for the state administration to function effectively.
