Anwar leaves Istana Negeri Sembilan after hour-long audience with Tuanku Muhriz

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim met with Negeri Sembilan Ruler Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir amid a dispute concerning the state's executive council.

The audience, reported by Astro Awani, followed the ruler's immediate revocation of the council members' appointments due to alleged breaches of their oaths.

Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim contested the validity of this move, arguing it bypassed necessary procedures, thus maintaining the current council's legitimacy to continue their duties.

No details of the discussions between the Prime Minister and the Ruler were disclosed.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 21 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim held a nearly hour-long audience with Negeri Sembilan Ruler Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir this evening, as a dispute over the status of the state executive council continued to unfold.

Anwar left Istana Negeri Sembilan in Changkat Persekutuan here after completing the audience, Astro Awani reported.

He had arrived at the palace grounds at about 6pm.

No details of the discussions during the meeting were immediately disclosed.

The audience came after Tuanku Muhriz revoked the appointments of the Negeri Sembilan State Executive Council members with immediate effect late last night.

According to a statement by Istana Negeri Sembilan comptroller Datuk Azizi Mohamad Ali, the decision was made after the ruler found that the exco members had breached their oaths of office.

The palace cited Article 38(5) of the Negeri Sembilan State Constitution 1959, which states that a member of the State Executive Council holds office for as long as he or she has the pleasure of the Yang di-Pertuan Besar.

The exco members had taken their oaths and signed pledges of loyalty on August 7 before being appointed to the council.

Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim, however, disputed the validity of their removal in a statement today.

He said any action to dismiss or terminate the membership of an exco member without the advice or formal request of the Menteri Besar was “invalid, unconstitutional and had no legal effect”.

Ismail said he had not been consulted or provided advice on the removal of any exco member under Article 38(5).

He maintained there was therefore no need to submit a new list of proposed exco members, saying the existing line-up remained legally valid and would continue to carry out its duties as usual.

首相拿督斯里安瓦尔易卜拉欣在有关州执行委员会的争议中会见了森美兰州统治者端姑穆赫里兹端姑穆纳维尔。

据 Astro Awani 报道，在统治者因涉嫌违反誓言而立即撤销委员会成员的任命后，观众们聚集在一起。

森美兰州务大臣拿督伊斯迈·拉西姆对这一举措的合法性提出质疑，认为此举绕过了必要的程序，从而维护了现任理事会继续履行职责的合法性。

总理与统治者会谈的细节并未公开。

吉隆坡，9月21日——今晚，首相拿督斯里安瓦尔易卜拉欣与森美兰州统治者端姑穆赫里兹端姑穆纳维尔进行了近一个小时的会面，有关州执行委员会地位的争议仍在继续展开。

据Astro Awani报道，安瓦尔在完成接见后离开了位于Changkat Persekutuan的森美兰皇宫。

他大约下午6点到达了宫殿。

会议讨论的具体内容尚未立即公布。

昨晚深夜，端姑慕赫里兹立即撤销了森美兰州行政委员会成员的任命，随后观众们前来观看。

根据森美兰州皇宫总管拿督阿兹兹·穆罕默德·阿里发表的声明，该决定是在统治者发现行政议员违反就职誓言后做出的。

王室援引 1959 年森美兰州宪法第 38(5) 条，该条规定州行政委员会成员的任期由州元首决定。

执行委员会成员在8月7日宣誓就职并签署效忠誓词后被任命为理事会成员。

然而，森美兰州务大臣拿督依斯迈拉欣今天在一份声明中对罢免他们的有效性提出了质疑。

他表示，未经州务大臣的建议或正式请求，任何解雇或终止执行委员会成员资格的行为都是“无效的、违宪的，并且不具有任何法律效力”。

伊斯梅尔表示，根据第 38(5) 条规定，在罢免任何执行委员会成员方面，他没有被咨询或获得任何建议。

因此他坚持认为没有必要提交新的执委会成员名单，并表示现有的执委会成员名单仍然具有法律效力，并将继续照常履行职责。
