Expedite court proceedings to settle Negeri Sembilan royal dispute, says ex-minister Syed Hamid

Former law minister Tan Sri Syed Hamid Albar emphasized the need to expedite court proceedings involving the Negeri Sembilan royal institution dispute to address legal questions relating to customary practices, state law, and the Federal Constitution.

He suggested that the courts, rather than public debates, should resolve the issue to prevent public anxiety and ensure a rational resolution.

Additionally, he urged all parties to adhere to constitutional and legal procedures regarding any actions involving positions or removals from office, thereby maintaining public confidence in Malaysian politics.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 23 — Court proceedings related to the Negeri Sembilan royal institution dispute should be expedited to provide a definitive resolution to the legal questions involved, former law minister Tan Sri Syed Hamid Albar said.

He said the dispute, which involves the adat (customary practices), state law and the Federal Constitution, should be resolved through the legal process rather than public debate or sentiment.

“When one party says it has a right and another party says the same, there is clearly a dispute that needs to be determined.

“The courts should expedite whatever hearings are necessary to resolve these legal questions,” he told Bernama when contacted today.

Syed Hamid, who has also served as home and foreign minister, said those with jurisdiction over the matter, including the Attorney-General and the government, were entitled to carry out their respective responsibilities, and their should not be regarded as interference unless a court determines otherwise.

Syed Hamid also urged all parties to refrain from making conflicting public statements, saying these could heighten public anxiety and make it more difficult to reach a reasonable and rational resolution.

“Malaysians are confused, and outsiders are also confused. This is no longer an internal matter involving a particular group or state because it has become a public dispute that people want to see resolved.

“This affects confidence. It is not good for Malaysian politics or public perception,” he said.

Syed Hamid said any action involving a person’s position or removal from office must be carried out in accordance with the procedures and provisions set out in the Constitution and relevant laws. — Bernama

前法律部长丹斯里赛哈密阿尔巴强调，有必要加快森美兰州皇家机构争议的法庭程序，以解决与习惯做法、州法律和联邦宪法相关的法律问题。

他建议，应该通过法院而不是公开辩论来解决这个问题，以防止公众焦虑并确保理性解决。

此外，他还敦促各方在涉及职位或免职的任何行动中遵守宪法和法律程序，从而维护公众对马来西亚政治的信心。

吉隆坡，9月23日讯——前律政部长丹斯里赛哈密阿尔巴尔表示，与森美兰州皇家机构纠纷相关的法庭程序应加快进行，以便对所涉法律问题作出最终裁决。

他表示，这场争端涉及阿达特（习惯做法）、州法律和联邦宪法，应该通过法律程序解决，而不是通过公开辩论或情绪来解决。

“当一方声称自己有权利，而另一方也声称自己有权利时，显然存在争议需要解决。”

“法院应该加快审理这些法律问题所需的一切听证会，”他今天接受马新社采访时表示。

曾担任内政部长和外交部长的赛义德·哈米德表示，对此事拥有管辖权的人，包括总检察长和政府，有权履行各自的职责，除非法院另有裁定，否则不应将其视为干涉。

赛义德·哈米德还敦促各方避免发表相互矛盾的公开声明，称这些声明可能会加剧公众的焦虑，并使达成合理和理性的解决方案变得更加困难。

“马来西亚人感到困惑，外国人也感到困惑。这不再是某个特定团体或州的内部事务，而是一场公众争端，人们希望看到它得到解决。”

“这会影响公众信心。这对马来西亚政治和公众认知都不利，”他说。
