Negri Sembilan PH reps yet to receive notice for Nov 26 sitting

In Negri Sembilan, all 11 Pakatan Harapan assemblymen have yet to receive any notice regarding their state legislative assembly sitting scheduled for November 26, despite the opposition leader stating that the notice should have been issued at least 28 days prior. The opposition leader, J. Arul Kumar, emphasized that this notice should have been sent by October 28 or 29, and without it, the assembly sitting on the planned date is deemed unreasonable and impossible.

According to the opposition leader, the typical process for receiving such notices involves significant preparation time, including submitting written and oral questions and obtaining responses from relevant government departments or agencies, which generally takes more than a month. Despite these clear requirements, no notice has been received by any of the assemblymen, and there is no record of the notice on the official e-Dewan portal.

The state government's proposal for the sitting date has been labeled as unreasonable by the opposition leader, who is urging for a confirmed date to be set for the sitting and the tabling of the 2027 State Budget. The state government's Menteri Besar, Datuk Ismail Lasim, maintained that the original plan to hold the state assembly sitting on November 26 and table the 2027 State Budget the following day remains unchanged, pending consent from Negri Sembilan's Yang di-Pertuan Besar, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir.
