NEGRI SEMBILAN constitutional crisis to be resolved soon, says Zahid
KUALA LUMPUR: The BN chairman, Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, has assured the public that the constitutional crisis in Negri Sembilan will be addressed promptly. He emphasized that the coalition will strive to resolve the state's issues and ensure the administration functions smoothly, in accordance with the Negri Sembilan Constitution.
After meeting with PPP members, Zahid confirmed that Negri Sembilan's Menteri Besar, Datuk Ismail Lasim, had withdrawn his objection letter to Tan Sri Syed Danial Syed Ahmad, endorsing the appointment of Tuanku Muhriz as the state's Yang di-Pertuan Besar. Earlier, a letter claiming Ismail and 10 other state executives had withdrawn their objection was shared on social media, citing the Conference of Rulers' October 14 statement and a June 5 High Court ruling that upheld Tuanku Muhriz's position.
Ismail's decision to withdraw his objection came after he claimed he had been compelled to sign the Instrument of Proclamation officially removing Tuanku Muhriz from office in September.
