KUALA LUMPUR: The Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negri Sembilan Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir has revoked the appointments of members of the state executive council with immediate effect, according to a statement issued by Istana Besar Seri Menanti on Sunday.

The palace said the decision was made after the exco members were found to have breached their oath of office.

It said the members had taken and signed their oath and pledge of allegiance before the Yang di-Pertuan Besar on Aug 7, before their appointment to the State Executive Council.

Under Article XXXVIII(5) of the Laws of the Constitution of Negri Sembilan 1959, an exco member, other than the Menteri Besar, holds office at the pleasure of the Yang di-Pertuan Besar.

The palace said the exco members had pledged allegiance to the Ruler and the Royal Institution, undertaken to protect and preserve the sovereignty of the state Constitution, and acknowledged the authority vested in the Dewan Keadilan dan Undang.

“However, they have breached that oath by their actions and statements on Sept 15,” the statement said.

The Ruler subsequently revoked their appointments with immediate effect, with each affected member informed individually by letter.

Following the decision, Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim is required to submit a list of candidates for new members of the State Executive Council for the consideration and consent of the Yang di-Pertuan Besar, in accordance with Article XXXVIII(2) of the state Constitution.

The Ruler also expects the Menteri Besar to ensure that the administration of Negri Sembilan continues without disruption and in accordance with the state Constitution.

The palace stressed that the interests of the people must remain safeguarded during the transition.

The statement was issued by Datuk Azizi Mohamad Ali, Comptroller of the Royal Household of Istana Besar Seri Menanti, and dated Sept 20, 2026.
