TLDR

  • UMNO and Barisan Nasional assemblymen in Negeri Sembilan have lost confidence in the Chief Minister, Aminuddin Harun.
  • They stated their continued loss of confidence is due to his failure to manage a major crisis that affected public trust in the state's adat (customary law) and constitution.
  • Despite this, they will continue to perform their duties and focus on serving the people, while respecting the leadership's decision to maintain cooperation in the Unity Government.

The UMNO and Barisan Nasional coalition in Negeri Sembilan has reiterated its stance, declaring a continued lack of confidence in the current Chief Minister, Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun. This sentiment stems from his perceived mishandling of a significant crisis that has eroded public trust in the state's foundational laws and customs. Despite this internal dissent, the coalition has affirmed its commitment to fulfilling its responsibilities as elected representatives, vowing to prioritize public service and welfare.

Semua ADUN UMNO, BN juga akan menjalankan tanggungjawab seperti biasa, malah terus memberi fokus, memperhebatkan khidmat bakti kepada rakyat dan memastikan kebajikan mereka diberi perhatian sewajarnya dari semasa ke semasa.

— Datuk Mustapha NagoorStating the coalition's commitment to public service despite their lack of confidence in the Chief Minister.

UMNO Negeri Sembilan's Secretary, Datuk Mustapha Nagoor, articulated this position, emphasizing that while the coalition respects the central leadership's decision to remain part of the Unity Government in Negeri Sembilan, their confidence in the Chief Minister personally remains unshakeable. The core issue, as highlighted, is the failure to adequately manage a crisis that has, in their view, undermined the public's faith in the state's unique adat and Undang-Undang Tubuh (state constitution).

Kami kekal hilang kepercayaan kepada Menteri Besar di atas kegagalan menguruskan krisis terburuk yang pernah berlaku di negeri ini sehingga menjejaskan keyakinan rakyat terhadap institusi adat dan Undang-Undang Tubuh Negeri Sembilan.

— Datuk Mustapha NagoorExplaining the reason for the continued loss of confidence in the Chief Minister.

The party also called for a harmonious resolution to the ongoing crisis concerning customary leadership in the state, urging adherence to the Negeri Sembilan State Constitution of 1959 and established customary procedures. UMNO Negeri Sembilan appealed to the public to respect the ongoing processes and refrain from making provocative or insulting comments about the state's customary institutions, underscoring the sensitivity and importance of these matters to the local community.

UMNO Negeri Sembilan juga berharap krisis berkaitan kepimpinan adat di Negeri Sembilan ketika ini akan dapat diselesaikan dengan baik dan harmoni.

— Datuk Mustapha NagoorExpressing hope for a peaceful resolution to the customary leadership crisis.
