Police will question the recently axed Negeri Sembilan exco members today.

This is believed to be over the statement they issued, supporting a disputed proclamation dethroning Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir as state ruler.

The meeting with police comes after the former exco members - who had their appointments revoked by Tuanku Muhriz for disloyalty - and other BN and Perikatan Nasional assemblypersons met with Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi last night.

Also present was embattled Menteri Besar Ismail Lasim.

Not much has been said about the meeting. However, state Umno chief Jalaluddin Alias reportedly said last night that the core of the discussion was that the Negeri Sembilan government must continue to function for the well-being and interests of the people.

Even though Ismail is the sole state leadership member remaining, Jalaluddin said there will be an approach to make this happen.

“There are various methods that can be used, and surely the menteri besar has a certain formula to mobilise the government machinery so that the agenda for the people’s interests can continue,” he was quoted as saying by Bernama yesterday.

Jalaluddin's (above) remarks, as well as Zahid saying yesterday noon that Ismail was the only "official" member of the state government - appear to signal that, at least for now, BN will not continue to challenge the excos' removal after the state government gazetted Tuanku Muhriz's decision to revoke the appointments.

If so, it may also mean that BN has acknowledged that state secretary Zafir Ibrahim and state legal adviser Muzalmah Mustapha Kamal are still in office despite Ismail's earlier attempts to suspend them from their roles.
