00:01UMNO will continue to back the unity government in Negeri Sembilan to ensure political stability,
00:06despite the retraction of support by its state chapter for Menteri Besar Aminuddin Harun earlier this week.
00:13UMNO Secretary General Ashraf Wajdi Duzuki said the party's Negeri Sembilan chief, Jalaluddin Alias,
00:20had explained the rationale for withdrawing support for Aminuddin and that UMNO respected the decision.
00:25All 14 Barisan Nasional UMNO Assemblymen retracted support for Aminuddin on Monday,
00:32citing a loss of confidence in the Menteri Besar from PKR.
00:36Jalaluddin, previously a senior EXCO member, said their decision was linked to the ongoing crisis involving four chieftains
00:44seeking to remove the young Diputuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan from his position.
00:48Yesterday, government spokesman Fahmi Fadzil said the unity government remained stable
00:54despite the retraction of support.
00:56Fahmi said the other unity state governments, Penang, Perak, Selangor, Pahang, Melaka and Sabah,
01:03remained unaffected by the turmoil in Negeri Sembilan,
01:07with Pakatan Harapan and BN working together without issues.
