Defend royal institution or Ismail, Mujahid challenges Umno
The Amanah deputy president says Umno must explain whether it knew of or endorsed a letter allegedly challenging Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir’s position as Negeri Sembilan ruler.
Umno must decide whether to stand up for the Malay royal institution or its own leader, Ismail Lasim, following a controversial letter allegedly sent by him to the Keeper of the Rulers' Seal, according to Amanah deputy president Mujahid Yusof Rawa. The letter allegedly questioned the position of Tuanku Muhriz, the Yang Dipertuan Besar, prompting Tuanku Muhriz to question Ismail's motives during a viral video.
Mujahid urged Umno leaders to address the issue, questioning their support for the letter and whether they endorsed the state executive council's decision to recognize the removal of Tuanku Muhriz. He emphasized that the post of menteri besar is a constitutional trust and that Ismail must apologize to the people of Negeri Sembilan and all Malaysians for disrespecting the royal institution.
Mujahid also questioned why Umno leaders, who have previously defended the royal institution, remained silent when their own leader was implicated in this matter.
