Negeri Sembilan MB disputes ruler’s sacking of exco members

Negeri Sembilan menteri besar Ismail Lasim has disputed Yang Dipertuan Besar Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir’s decision to revoke the appointments of Ismail’s 10 executive council members yesterday.
In a statement citing the Negeri Sembilan constitution, Ismail said the state ruler cannot terminate the tenure of an exco member unless advised to or requested by the menteri besar.
“I was never referred to and never advised the termination of any Negeri Sembilan exco member.
“Therefore, there is no need to submit a list of new exco members because the existing exco remains valid and its members will continue performing their duties,” he said.
