DAP chief accuses PAS of shifting goalposts in Negeri Sembilan dispute

DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook has accused PAS of altering its position on the Negeri Sembilan political turmoil, saying the opposition party is attempting to obscure the fundamental nature of the crisis. Loke contended that the central concern was the conduct of exco members who swore an oath of allegiance to Tuanku Muhriz before subsequently moving to depose the Ruler. The DAP leader's remarks come as tensions persist over the recent political instability that gripped the state, which saw a dramatic shift in the ruling coalition and questions about constitutional propriety. Loke's criticism suggests that PAS, which holds significant influence in Negeri Sembilan politics, has sought to reframe the narrative surrounding the events. The dispute underscores ongoing friction between DAP and PAS, two major political players whose relationship has remained strained despite occasional cooperation at the state and national levels. The incident has reignited concerns about political stability and the sanctity of constitutional processes in the state.
