Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar delays new exco appointments pending court ruling

Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun said he will hold off on filling the vacant exco positions until the apex court delivers its judgment on the contested removal of his previous executive council members.

The Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar's decision to delay the appointments reflects the ongoing legal proceedings surrounding the dismissal, which has become a matter of constitutional significance for the state administration.

The Federal Court challenge centres on the legitimacy and procedural aspects of the sacking of the 10 former exco members. The outcome of this case is expected to have implications for how similar administrative decisions are handled in the state.

In the interim, Aminuddin said the state government will continue to function with the current administrative arrangements while awaiting clarity from the court's ruling.
