Revoked excos fight back: Ten ask High Court to void Negeri Sembilan gazette

Key points

• The gazette said the revocation took effect on September 20 and was made under Article XXXVIII(5) of the Laws of the Constitution of Negeri Sembilan 1959, which says an exco member other than the Menteri Besar holds office for as long as the Ruler consents.
• Ismail has said he was not consulted on the revocation, and that the constitution provides for such a revocation only on the Menteri Besar’s advice.
• Because the constitution requires the menteri besar’s advice for such a revocation, they argue, the gazette revoking their appointments without it was “null, void and ineffective”.
