00:01Many voters in Negeri Sembilan have rejected moves to change the state government midway through its term,
00:07following the withdrawal of support by 14 UMNO Assemblymen for Menteri Besar Aminuddin Harun.
00:14They said the mandate from the 2023 state election should be respected,
00:19warning that continued instability could discourage voter turnout, especially among younger Malaysians.
00:26Retiree Zainal Mahmud, 71, said the current administration should be allowed to complete its term
00:32and cautioned against prolonged political turmoil.
00:36Negeri Sembilan UMNO Chief Jalaluddin Alias said the withdrawal of support for Aminuddin
00:41was due to a loss of confidence in his handling of an ongoing crisis involving four chieftains
00:48seeking to remove Negeri Sembilan Yang Dipetuan Besar Tuanku Muhris Tuanku Munawir from his position.
00:54Private sector worker P. Mariyama, 56, said changing the government or Menteri Besar
01:00would mean little if the rising cost of living remains unresolved, adding that voting once every five years is enough.
01:08A trader in Loba who only wanted to be known as Lowai said he was more concerned about keeping his
01:14hardware
01:15and building materials business afloat amid the global economic uncertainty triggered by the Middle East conflict.
01:21Meanwhile, self-employed worker Muhammad Luman Hakim, 35, said fresh elections might be the only way out if the crisis
01:30drags on.
