Ismail withdraws objection to Tuanku Muhriz, reaffirms support for ruler

Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim has withdrawn his earlier objection to Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir’s position as Yang di-Pertuan Besar, according to a letter dated Nov 10. The decision was made in accordance with the Negri Sembilan Constitution 1959 and the aim of upholding the institution of the monarchy, as well as ensuring the state administration continues in an orderly manner.

Ismail met Keeper of the Rulers’ Seal Tan Sri Syed Danial Syed Ahmad earlier this week to hand over the letter. The dispute between Ismail and Tuanku Muhriz has been ongoing and was initially scheduled to be resolved by a state legislative assembly sitting, which was postponed and later fixed for Nov 26.
