KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 19 — Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has advised the coalition’s 18 Negeri Sembilan state assemblymen to stay out of matters involving customary law and the royal institution, and instead focus on the people’s welfare and fulfilling their mandate.
The Deputy Prime Minister said matters concerning customary law and royal institutions should be kept separate from the administration of the state government to ensure that public services were not disrupted.
“My advice to our BN assemblymen is not to interfere any further in matters involving the Negeri Sembilan Dewan Keadilan dan Undang and the royal institutions. We should focus on delivering services because the people elected their representatives and gave them a mandate,” he said.
