Jalaluddin nafi dakwaan kemuka usul tidak percaya MB N Sembilan

Ketua Umno Negeri Sembilan, Jalaluddin Alias, has denied allegations that he plans to launch a no-confidence motion against Negeri Sembilan's Chief Minister, Ismail Lasim, ahead of the coming Dewan Undi Nasional (DUN) session. Jalaluddin, who is also an Adun Pertang, informed FMT that there have been no discussions regarding such a move.

"Definitely not true. There are no rules or discussions for initiating a no-confidence motion against the Chief Minister," he added, emphasizing that he has no reason to do so. Jalaluddin stressed that the state government's administration is currently running smoothly without any leadership crisis. As of now, there are no leadership issues in Negeri Sembilan with the Chief Minister.

Jalaluddin affirmed that whether Ismail performs his duties as Chief Minister, and the party leader will work towards the state and people's interests. He made these remarks in response to reports claiming that Umno Negeri Sembilan was considering the no-confidence motion against Ismail, which would be proposed by Jalaluddin himself, subject to the central Umno leadership.

The source claimed that a young Majlis Mesyuarat Kerajaan Negeri (exco) member might be announced if the step continues. The DUN session is scheduled to take place on November 26, postponed from October 16 to align with the state's 2027 budget announcement the following day. Preliminary Speaker Awaludin Said had earlier clarified that his side had not received any official notice regarding the no-confidence motion against Ismail, reiterating that he would not allow such a motion to be raised to topple the Chief Minister.

Ismail assumed his ministerial oath on August 2, following the PRN election results where Barisan Nasional secured 18 seats, Pakatan Harapan 11, and Perikatan Nasional won seven seats. Despite his oath-taking, Ismail's governance is described as crisis-free in the context of constitutional governance, with Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir's sacking as Yang Dipertuan Besar being a notable event.
