G25 calls for Negeri Sembilan MB to step down over royal crisis

The G25 group, comprising senior former government officials, has publicly called for the resignation of Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Ismail Lasim in the wake of escalating tensions surrounding the state's royal crisis.

According to the group, Lasim has lost the moral authority and credibility necessary to effectively govern the state following his actions during the controversy. The G25, known for its advocacy on governance and constitutional matters, views the situation as having compromised the integrity of the state's leadership.

The call for Lasim's resignation adds further pressure on the Negeri Sembilan administration at a time when the state is grappling with the fallout from the royal dispute. The group's intervention underscores concerns from establishment figures about the handling of the matter by the state government.

Lasim has led Negeri Sembilan as Menteri Besar since 2018. The current appeal from the influential G25 represents a significant political development in the ongoing crisis affecting the sultanate.
