00:00Negeri Semilan Menteri Besar Ismail Lasim says the issue over the proclamation seeking to remove state ruler Tuanku Muhris Tuanku
00:09Munawir,
00:09which he was allegedly forced to sign, should be resolved through constitutional and legal processes, including in court if necessary.
00:18In a Facebook post, Ismail says the state's executive council today agreed that the matter should be viewed based on
00:26the state constitution
00:27and the principles of a constitutional monarchy rather than as a political or personal matter.
00:33He stresses that he has no power to unilaterally remove Tuanku Muhris and that his role in the constitutional processes
00:40does not give him the power to determine the state ruler's position.
00:45Last week, four purported undangs presented a document dated August 3rd, allegedly signed by Ismail and the four chieftains,
00:53seeking Tuanku Muhris' removal.
00:55The four chieftains' positions are also under dispute.
00:59Ismail says he was coerced into signing the proclamation and has rejected its validity,
01:05saying it did not comply with the state constitution.
01:08Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail confirmed earlier that Ismail had lodged two police reports
01:14regarding the proclamation and that police have opened investigation papers.
