I’m okay, Ismail says after royal rebuke
The Negeri Sembilan menteri besar refuses to comment on the ticking off he received last Friday from the Yang Dipertuan Besar.
Negeri Sembilan's Chief Minister Ismail Lasim has declined to comment on his royal rebuke by state ruler Tuanku Muhriz on Friday. Sinar Harian quoted Ismail as saying, "I’m okay. There’s nothing to comment on." The reprimand was evident in videos showing Tuanku Muhriz questioning Ismail about his meeting request, asserting his authority as the Yang Dipertuan Besar.
Following Friday prayers, Ismail presented Tuanku Muhriz with the "angkat sembah," a customary gesture when greeting royalty. Negeri Sembilan has experienced a royal crisis since April when four individuals claimed to be undangs announced Tuanku Muhriz's removal as the state ruler. Ismail subsequently approved a proclamation by the state executive council endorsing the ouster, resulting in the ruler dismissing the entire state executive council.
