In a joint statement, they also alleged that the gazette was issued without the approval of the state executive council, the state’s legitimate executive authority.
"We affirm that the said gazette is invalid, has no legal effect, is contrary to the Negeri Sembilan constitution and was issued to mislead the public," they said in a joint statement with the Tunku Besar Tampin.
