After royal rebuke, N Sembilan MB highlights sermon on humility, restraining ego
Ismail received a public dressing-down from the Yang di-Pertuan Besar earlier today.
Malaysian ruler Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir has issued a rare public rebuke to his chief minister, Ismail Lasim, over efforts to unseat him. The monarch, known for his reserved demeanor, publicly berated the politician in a video, ordering him to "go away" and retract his claims. The dispute centers on a letter allegedly endorsing Muhriz's removal, which Ismail asserts was sent to the official overseeing Malaysia’s royal council.
In the video, the ruler confronts Ismail, telling him he will not see him again until the letter is retracted. The conflict has caused the fall of one state government aligned with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s ruling Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition. The crisis has prompted the Conference of Rulers to call for restraint and a dignified solution to avoid undermining the state monarchy.
