SEREMBAN - A group of supporters, comprising ibu soko, lembaga, buapak and members of the clans from across all luak or territories in the state, gathered in front of Istana Hinggap and Wisma Negeri today to pledge allegiance to the Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, and Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun.
The group, operating under the Secretariat for Support and Loyalty to the Ruler and Menteri Besar, began assembling at Istana Hinggap from 8.45am, holding yellow banners declaring their backing for Tuanku Muhriz and the state government.
Its chief, Professor Dr Mohd Aluwi Sari, said a memorandum was also submitted to affirm the support and loyalty of the people of Negeri Sembilan, including descendants from the four primary luak - Sungai Ujong, Jelebu, Johol and Rembau - as well as those from the districts under Luak Tanah Mengandung.
"In matters of adat (customary law), we urge especially outsiders not to create narratives, sow discord or politicise the issues currently affecting the state,” he told reporters.
The memorandum addressed to Tuanku Muhriz was handed over to Tunku Kecil Muda Tunku Datuk Seri Mahmood Fawzy Tunku Muhiyiddin, while the memorandum for the Menteri Besar was submitted to his press secretary, Ahmad Shahir Mohd Shah. - BERNAMA
