THE revocation of the appointments of 10 Negeri Sembilan executive councillors by Yang di-Pertuan Besar Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir has now been officially gazetted.
The state government gazette, dated today, states that Tuanku Muhriz withdrew his assent and revoked the appointments under Article XXXVIII(5) of the Negeri Sembilan Constitution 1959.
The provision states that an executive councillor, other than the menteri besar, holds office for as long as the Yang di-Pertuan Besar gives his assent.
The gazette said the 10 Exco members had taken and signed their oath of allegiance before Tuanku Muhriz on Aug 7 before assuming office.
It said the Yang di-Pertuan Besar had determined that they had breached the oath and pledge of allegiance.
“Therefore, I hereby withdraw my assent and revoke your appointments as members of the Negeri Sembilan State Executive Council,” the gazette stated.
The revocation took effect on Sept 20.
The 10 are Datuk Mohd Faizal Ramli, Datuk Zaifulbahri Idris, Datuk Mustapha Nagoor, Siow Kong Choon, Siti Nur Umaira Hasim, Datuk Mohd Asna Amin, Datuk Mohd Razi Mohd Ali, Suhaimizan Bizar, Mohd Fairuz Mohd Isa and Datuk Razali Abu Samah.
The gazette was issued under the authority of Tuanku Muhriz and published today, formally giving effect to the revocation.
The move comes amid the continuing constitutional dispute in Negeri Sembilan involving Tuanku Muhriz, Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim and the state executive council. – September 24, 2026
