Federal agencies being used to cause chaos, claim ruling chiefs

SEREMBAN: Claiming that federal agencies are being used to cause chaos in Negri Sembilan, an Undang, three ruling chiefs and the Tunku Besar Tampin said the move may result in the state administration becoming dysfunctional.

Describing it as unconstitutional, a breach of trust and violating the principle of federalism, they said if this persists, it would violate the Prime Minister’s oath under the Sixth Schedule of the Federal Constitution.

“We strongly condemn any effort by certain parties, whether overtly or covertly, in attempting to violate our prerogatives and constitutional rights in this state of ours.

“We also wish to remind the Prime Minister and the Attorney General’s Chambers not to interfere in the governance of Negri Sembilan as they do not have the jurisdiction to do so,” they said in a statement.

The statement was read by the former Undang of Sungei Ujong, Datuk Mubarak Dohak.
