Let Negri Sembilan settle its own affairs, says Jalaluddin
KUALA LUMPUR: Negri Sembilan should be left to resolve its own affairs, Jelebu member of parliament Datuk Seri Jalaluddin Alias told the Dewan Rakyat.
Negri Sembilan should be allowed to handle its own matters, stated Jelebu MP Datuk Seri Jalaluddin Alias during the 2027 Budget debate. This came in response to a question from Hulu Terengganu MP Datuk Rosol Wahid. Jalaluddin assured that Hulu Terengganu should not be concerned, as the issue would be resolved. Earlier in the debate, Jalaluddin had raised concerns about the state's development progress, specifically the Malaysia Vision Valley project introduced by former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
Rosol acknowledged the importance of advancing Negri Sembilan's development initiatives before questioning if delays in appointing state executive council members could hinder the state's progress. On September 20, the Negri Sembilan palace announced the cancellation of the appointments of 10 exco members, effective immediately.
They were dismissed due to breaching their allegiance pledge by agreeing to the removal of Tuanku Muhriz as Yang Dipertuan Besar. These exco members are now challenging the revocation in the Federal Court, questioning the Yang Dipertuan Besar's authority to make such decisions without the advice of the menteri besar.
