00:01Lawyer Rosli Dalan is calling on Negeri Sembilan Menteri Bersa Ismail Lassim to resign after the Attorney General's Chamber said
00:08an ex-co statement on Tawangku Muris Tawangku Munawir had no legal effect.
00:13Rosli told FMT the episode showed Ismail had no grasp of or control over the state administration and had acted
00:20contrary to the state legal adviser's advice.
00:23Yesterday, the state secretary's office said it would not act on Ismail's request to gazette the proclamation and had referred
00:30the matter to the state legal adviser.
00:33The AGC said ex-co members had no jurisdiction, authority or power to issue the announcement, while the Menteri Bersa
00:40and state ex-co could not unilaterally declare the ruler's position vacant.
00:45Although the undangs have the power to remove the Yang Di Petuan Bersa, the AGC said the April 19th proclamation
00:51by four purplotted undangs failed to comply with Article 10 procedures.
00:56The AGC added that the authority of some signatories remained disputed because they had been removed as undangs under the
01:03customary laws of their respective luaks.
01:05State ex-co members had declared Tawangku Muris' removal legitimate and recognized Tawangku Natsaruddin Tawangku Jafar as the new ruler
01:13on Wednesday.
01:15Ismail endorsed the statement the following day, saying the decision had been made unanimously when the state ex-co convened
01:22on Tuesday.
