PAS leadership urged to clarify stance on Negeri Sembilan royal crisis and dismissed assemblyman

In a statement, MP Syahredzan questioned the central PAS leadership on its view of the ongoing Negeri Sembilan royal crisis, specifically the attempt to lower Tuanku Muhriz as Yang Dipertuan Besar and the subsequent dismissal of a PAS assemblyman by the ruler. He demanded a clear, unambiguous party position and asked how PAS leaders are involved in the dispute. Fadhli Shaari, PAS’s information chief, responded that state constitutions stipulate that exco members serve only with the monarch’s approval and raised the issue of whether DAP would accept similar dismissals elsewhere.

The crisis began in April after four assembly members claimed to have removed the ruler, a claim later rejected by the Attorney General’s Department and the Court of Justice, which affirmed Tuanku Muhriz’s legitimacy. Following that ruling, the ruler removed ten exco members, stating their appointments required his consent under the state constitution.
