Reject attempts to disrupt peace and harmony, Negri Ruler advises

KUALA PILAH: The Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negri Sembilan, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, urges the people to remain united and thwart attempts by irresponsible parties to disrupt peace and harmony by destabilising the state government.

Tuanku Muhriz also reminded all elected assemblymen to offer their loyalty to the people and the state and not to their political parties of choice or for personal interest.

He added that the state government has made significant progress in its administration and management by adopting values that reflect commitment, efficiency and integrity as well as quality of service.

“In the past, there were attempts by some irresponsible parties to destabilise the state government for no specific reason.

“They must realise that such action will not bring about any good results but rather cause unnecessary problems that will not benefit the people or state.

“I wish to remind all elected representatives to serve with integrity, be honest and uphold the trust vested upon you and focus on serving the people truthfully.

“A stable administration can only see progress and see development,” said Tuanku Muhriz at the swearing in ceremony of Sikamat assemblyman Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun as the Menteri Besar at Istana Besar Seri Menanti, here Monday (Aug 14).

His Majesty also urged the elected representatives to draft policies that will serve as a catalyst for the development of the people and the state and to put aside their self interest.

Tuanku Muhriz also congratulated all the elected representatives who were chosen as assemblymen during the state election on Saturday (Aug 12).

“I am happy that the election process went on smoothly without any untoward incidents. Congratulations to those who were chosen for a second term and to those who were not successful, continue to serve the people in whatever capacity,” he said.

In the Negri Sembilan state election on Saturday, the Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional (BN) coaition formed the government after winning 31 of the 36 seats contested, with PH winning 17, BN winning 14 while Pakatan Nasional (PN) claimed five seats. – BK
