The call for intervention comes after the state secretary declined to announce a formal proclamation concerning claims involving the Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, raising questions about compliance with constitutional procedures in the state.
The lawyer's appeal to the Bar Council highlights concerns over the state secretary's apparent non-compliance with what are understood to be proper administrative and legal protocols surrounding the matter.
The refusal to gazette the proclamation has prompted legal observers to question whether established procedures for handling sensitive constitutional matters in the state are being properly followed. The gazetting of official proclamations is typically considered a crucial step in formalizing government actions and decisions.
The case underscores ongoing tensions within Negeri Sembilan's governance structure and raises broader questions about institutional accountability and the adherence to constitutional requirements by state administrators.
