Yang di-Pertuan Besar Negeri Sembilan Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir has revoked the appointments of all members of the state Executive Council with immediate effect.
In a statement issued tonight, Comptroller of the Royal Household of Negeri Sembilan Datuk Azizi Mohamad Ali said the decision was made after the ruler found that all the affected exco members had breached the oath they took upon assuming office.
He said under Article XXXVIII(5) of the Constitution of the State of Negeri Sembilan 1959, a member of the State Executive Council holds office for as long as the appointment has the consent of the Yang di-Pertuan Besar.
The members had each taken their oath and signed an oath of allegiance on Aug 7 before being appointed to the Negeri Sembilan State Executive Council.
“They pledged allegiance to His Royal Highness and the Royal Institution, swore to protect and uphold the sovereignty of the Negeri Sembilan Constitution, and recognised the authority vested in the Dewan Keadilan and Undang of Negeri Sembilan,” the statement said.
