4 pemimpin DAP tuntut BN-PN jelas pendirian isu Tuanku Muhriz

Yesterday, four DAP leaders demanded the central leadership of Barisan Nasional (BN) and Perikatan Nasional (PN) to openly declare whether they were aware of or approved of the actions of each of their respective ex-cohort members in the dispute over Tuanku Muhriz's position. This came after the nine State Executive Councilors (Menteri Besar) and 10 former ex-cohort members withdrew a statement claiming that Tuanku Muhriz had been demoted from the position of Yang DiPertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan.

In a joint statement, the four DAP leaders accused the leadership of Umno, PAS, MCA, and Wawasan of never openly challenging or rejecting the actions of each ex-cohort member in the dispute. The DAP leaders argued that the central leadership of BN and PN must openly declare their stance on whether they were aware of and approved of the actions of the State Executive Councilors and former ex-cohort members.

They also criticized the withdrawal of the statement as evidence of failure in their attempt to remove Tuanku Muhriz. Earlier today, Ismail Lasim confirmed the withdrawal of the statement to the Chief Secretary to the Government Raja-Raja Syed Danial Syed Ahmad, which also implicated the support of the 10 former ex-cohort members for Tuanku Muhriz.

The four DAP leaders urged all parties involved to publicly forgive Tuanku Muhriz and other Malay sultans, and they called on the Perpaduan Perbadanan Secretariat to determine the fate of BN and Umno based on their actions, which they claim violated red lines. They also urged authorities to reveal the results of investigations into Ismail and the 10 former ex-cohort members, and to bring them to court if found guilty.
