State assembly will not be allowed to dissolve, says Negeri Sembilan MB
Ismail Lasim says the 2027 budget has been finalised, and he is just waiting for the official date to reconvene the assembly.
The Negeri Sembilan state assembly will not be permitted to dissolve, according to Menteri Besar Ismail Lasim. This comes after the previously scheduled meeting, set to begin in mid-October, was canceled. The state government is eagerly awaiting the official date for the subsequent assembly meeting, which has been rescheduled to commence on November 26.
Ismail emphasized that the 2027 budget preparations are already finalized and are simply awaiting the assembly meeting to take place. He expressed his determination to ensure the meeting occurs as planned, firmly stating that there will be no consideration of dissolving the state assembly. This statement was conveyed to Bernama by Ismail following his attendance at a Deepavali open house event hosted by special adviser on Indian community affairs, VS Mogan, in Seremban.
The state government had initially announced plans to kick off the next assembly meeting on November 26, followed by the presentation of the 2027 budget on November 27. Ismail did not provide any further details on whether the events would proceed as scheduled, only noting that both would take place "if God permits it." When asked about potential complications if the Yang Di Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, did not agree to the proposed dates, Ismail once again declined to comment.
