Polis tunggu keputusan AGC dakwaan Ismail ‘dipaksa’ tandatangan proklamasi

In a recent development, Selangor Chief Minister Ismail Lasim claimed he was forced to sign a proclamation dismissing Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir as the state's Yang Di Pertuan Besar against his will. The matter has now been referred to the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC). Interior Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail stated that the police have interviewed four individuals to assist with the investigation, and these findings have been forwarded to the AGC on September 29th.

The police are currently waiting for further instructions and guidance from the AGC regarding the investigation. Any subsequent actions or further inquiries by the police will depend on the results of the investigation and the guidance provided by the AGC. Saifuddin addressed this issue in Parliament on September 8th, following a report submitted by Ismail on September 5th.

On September 5th, four individuals were named in the complaint alleging that Ismail signed the proclamation dismissing Tuanku Muhriz, even though Ismail refused to comment on the allegations and affirmed his full loyalty to the state government. Three days later, the complaint included an alleged document claiming Ismail had signed the proclamation, during a media briefing.

Ismail then claimed he had signed the document under duress, while emphasizing that the proclamation was invalid. However, he subsequently supported statements from the Selangor State Assembly announcing the removal of Tuanku Muhriz as the Yang Di Pertuan Besar.
