Ahmad Zahid To Meet With Negeri Sembilan UMNO Assemblymen Soon - Fahmi

KUALA LUMPUR, April 29 (Bernama) -- UMNO president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi will soon convene a meeting with Negeri Sembilan UMNO assemblymen to discuss their position.

Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil, who is also the MADANI Government spokesperson, said the Deputy Prime Minister had informed the Cabinet, at its meeting today, of the planned meeting on developments surrounding the state’s political and administrative situation.

“During the Cabinet meeting, Prime Minister (Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim) also stressed that business is as usual for the Negeri Sembilan government. 

“The federal government will not interfere in matters related to adat (customary) affairs,” he said during the briefing on the global supply crisis and a post-Cabinet press conference today.

Last Monday, all 14 UMNO-Barisan Nasional assemblymen in Negeri Sembilan unanimously withdrew support for the state government led by Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin, citing the ongoing leadership crisis.

However, Anwar said Aminuddin will continue carrying out his duties as Menteri Besar as decreed by the Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir.
