PETALING JAYA: There appears to be no immediate indication of a dissolution of the Negeri Sembilan State Legislative Assembly despite ongoing speculation.
Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun carried out his routine weekly audience with the Yang di-Pertuan Besar Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir at Istana Hinggap in Seremban yesterday.
The weekly audience is typically held on Wednesdays before the state executive council meeting at Wisma Negeri, as part of the menteri besar’s official routine.
However, the visit drew attention from the media amid speculation over a possible early dissolution of the state assembly to pave the way for state election.
When met after the audience, Aminuddin gave a brief reply: “It’s the usual Wednesday audience with Tuanku.”
A media conference, scheduled for 1.30pm following the exco meeting, was later cancelled due to other official commitments.
The cancellation was confirmed by the menteri besar’s press secretary Ahmad Shahir Mohd Shah who said the engagement was postponed due to “unavoidable matters” requiring Aminuddin’s attention.
On Tuesday, Aminuddin, who is also Negeri Sembilan Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman, had chaired a state PH leadership meeting at his official residence, as speculation over the possible dissolution of the assembly continued to circulate.
Negeri Sembilan DAP secretary Cha Kee Chin said the meeting was held to discuss the coalition’s preparations for the next state election.
The latest speculation comes after Johor’s state assembly was dissolved earlier this week, fuelling expectations that Negeri Sembilan could be next amid shifting political dynamics and internal considerations within the ruling coalition.
