扎希德促成对立阵营联合起来,寻求解决森美兰州危机的办法,并表示目前无需宣布政治紧急状态。

Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has called a meeting with Barisan Nasional, PAS, and Parti Wawasan Negara assemblymen to address the ongoing constitutional crisis in Negeri Sembilan.

The focus is on coordinating efforts and identifying solutions in accordance with the state Constitution and customs.

Zahid emphasized prioritizing the people's interests while respecting legal protocols and granted Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim the authority to engage with state royal representatives.

The crisis stems from a dispute over the revocation of state executive council members' appointments by Tuanku Muhriz, deemed valid by the Attorney-General.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 27 — Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi today said he will hold a meeting tonight with Negeri Sembilan assemblymen from Barisan Nasional (BN), PAS and Parti Wawasan Negara tonight in a fresh attempt to resolve the state’s ongoing constitutional crisis.

The meeting at Menara Dato’ Onn here will focus on coordinating the parties and identifying possible solutions in line with the state Constitution and customs, national news agency Bernama reported this afternoon.

“The meeting is for me to coordinate, with no intention of interfering, but to find the best solution to the crisis currently faced by Negeri Sembilan,” Zahid was quoted as telling reporters after officiating the 18th Malaysian Makkal Sakti Party General Assembly here yesterday.

Zahid, who is BN chairman, said any solution must put the interests of the people first while respecting the state’s laws, Constitution and customs.

He also gave Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim full mandate to seek a way forward, including seeking an audience with the Yang Dipertuan Besar Negeri Sembilan Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, the four Undangs and Tunku Besar Tampin.

Zahid was also asked about the possibility of declaring a political emergency in Negeri Sembilan.

“I do not think we should move towards that because there has been no disturbance to peace in Negeri Sembilan, and there is no need to even consider such a thing... there must surely be better options,” he was quoted as saying.

The latest move comes amid a widening dispute between the state government and palace over the authority to revoke the appointments of the 10 state executive council members.

Tuanku Muhriz revoked the appointments effective Sept 20 after the palace said the exco members had breached their oaths of office, while Ismail has disputed the validity of the move.

The Attorney-General has said the revocation was valid under the Negeri Sembilan Constitution, while the former exco members have since been barred from entering their offices.
