  • The Ruler advised Aminuddin to continue his duties in governing the state.

The political landscape in Negeri Sembilan is in turmoil as 14 Barisan Nasional (BN) assemblymen have withdrawn their support for the current Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun. Despite this significant blow, Aminuddin Harun has declared his intention to continue serving in his capacity, asserting his position as the legitimate leader of the state.

Following the BN's move, Aminuddin Harun promptly sought an audience with the Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, Tuanku Muhriz ibni Almarhum Tuanku Munawir. This crucial meeting was held to discuss the unfolding political crisis and its implications for the state government.

In a decisive move, Tuanku Muhriz has advised and commanded Aminuddin Harun to persevere in his responsibilities as Menteri Besar. This royal decree provides a temporary reprieve for the embattled leader, allowing him to continue governing the state amidst the political uncertainty. The situation remains fluid, with the full ramifications of the BN's withdrawal yet to be seen.

Setelah melalui pertimbangan sewajarnya, Tuanku Muhriz telah menasihati dan menitahkan agar saya meneruskan tanggungjawab mentadbir sebagai Menteri Besar sepertiโ€ฆ
