SHAH ALAM - Pandan Member of Parliament (MP) Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli has voiced support for Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun, expressing confidence in his leadership as the state faces a political crisis involving Barisan Nasional (BN) assemblymen.
The situation escalated after 14 BN state assemblymen declared they had lost confidence in Aminuddin’s administration, withdrawing their support amid issues linked to the state’s customary and constitutional framework.
Rafizi said he was not fully aware of the developments in Negeri Sembilan but had contacted Aminuddin Harun on Monday morning to check on him.
“Aminuddin is like my elder brother and his wife is like an elder sister to my wife.
“I can only pray from afar like a younger brother to his elder sibling. I managed to call him at around 10am earlier. I wanted to check on him, he was laughing and in good spirits. He said he had just visited two schools.
“There are four more schools he plans to visit today but stopped briefly at a stall to have breakfast with his wife,” he said in a Facebook post.
Rafizi added that he was not overly concerned, citing Aminuddin’s experience and composure in handling challenges.
“I have known him since he lived in a single-storey terrace house and his character remains the same. Whatever happens, Insyallah, it will not disturb Tok Min (Aminuddin) and Kak Wan (Datin Seri Wan Hasni Wan Yusof). Everything has its wisdom.
“That is the strength of those who understand that rank and position are merely a trust that is temporarily entrusted,” he said.
