The G25 group, comprising former high-ranking government officials, has publicly called for Ismail Lasim to relinquish his position as Menteri Besar of Negeri Sembilan, asserting that he has forfeited the moral standing necessary to govern the state.
According to the group, Lasim's actions during the royal crisis have significantly undermined his credibility and authority to lead. The former civil servants contended that his handling of the sensitive matter has eroded public confidence in his ability to manage state affairs effectively.
The G25 group has established itself as a vocal watchdog on governance and constitutional matters in Malaysia. The group's intervention marks a significant moment of public criticism from a respected cohort of retired officials, reflecting broader concerns about the state administration's management of the recent crisis.
The call for resignation adds pressure on the Negeri Sembilan administration at a time when questions about governance and leadership decisions continue to dominate public discourse in the state. The matter remains under scrutiny as stakeholders assess the political implications of the group's statement.
