NewzBekas menteri besar Negeri Sembilan Aminuddin Harun menggesa Ismail Lasim berterus terang kepada rakyat dan menghentikan tuduhan menyalahkan 'kerajaan terdahulu' berhubung kemelut institusi diraja negeri itu.PETALING JAYA: Bekas menteri besar Negeri Sembilan Aminuddin Harun menggesa Ismail Lasim berterus terang kepada rakyat dan menghentikan tuduhan menyalahkan 'kerajaan terdahulu' berhubung kemelut institusi diraja negeri itu.Aminuddin berkata, Ismail perlu menjelaskan mengapa beliau menandatangani dokumen proklamasi berkaitan Yang di-Pertuan Besar pada 3 Ogos lalu, sedangkan beliau sendiri menolak untuk menandatanganinya pada April atas faktor keraguan proses undang-undang.Menurutnya, dokumen proklamasi bertarikh 19 April pernah dikemukakan kepadanya untuk ditandatangani mengikut Perkara 10 Undang-Undang Tubuh Kerajaan Negeri Sembilan (UUTKNS) 1959.Namun, beliau membuat keputusan untuk tidak menandatanganinya selepas mendapati terdapat persoalan serius mengenai proses yang dilalui, termasuk isu pertikaian kedudukan salah seorang pihak yang terlibat sebagai Undang Luak Sungei Ujong.“Persoalannya, jika saya ketika menjadi menteri besar boleh membuat keputusan untuk tidak menandatangani dokumen tersebut kerana mempunyai keraguan terhadap prosesnya, bagaimana pula tandatangan menteri besar selepas saya boleh berada pada dokumen yang sama?“Inilah persoalan yang perlu dijelaskan secara terus kepada rakyat. Jangan sekadar menggunakan istilah ‘kerajaan terdahulu’ sebagai jawapan umum,” katanya menerusi hantaran di Facebook.Semalam, Ismail dalam satu sidang media berkata kemelut melibatkan institusi adat dan raja di Negeri Sembilan bukan berpunca daripada pentadbiran semasa tetapi diwarisi akibat kegagalan menteri besar terdahulu melaksanakan tanggungjawab mengikut UUTKNS.Mengulas lanjut, Aminuddin turut menyatakan sokongan terhadap pendirian Jabatan Peguam Negara (AGC) pada 17 September lalu yang memutuskan bahawa proklamasi bertarikh 19 April adalah tidak sah kerana gagal mematuhi kehendak mandatori siasatan penuh di bawah Perkara 10 UUTKNS.“AGC juga menegaskan bahawa menteri besar dan Majlis Mesyuarat Kerajaan Negeri tidak mempunyai kuasa secara unilateral untuk mengosongkan jawatan Yang di-Pertuan Besar.“Dalam perkara yang melibatkan UUTKNS, Adat Perpatih dan institusi Yang di-Pertuan Besar, penjelasan kepada rakyat mestilah berasaskan fakta, proses dan rekod … Former Negeri Sembilan menteri besar Aminuddin Harun (left) told his successor Ismail Lasim (right) to inform the public which constitutional provision the previous state administration allegedly violated.PETALING JAYA: Former Negeri Sembilan menteri besar Aminuddin Harun today hit back at his successor Ismail Lasim for blaming the previous state administration for the ongoing crisis involving the state’s customary and royal institutions.Ismail said yesterday that the crisis was inherited from the previous state government, alleging that Aminuddin failed to fulfil his responsibilities under the state’s constitution.In a statement, Aminuddin said the public should be told which constitutional provision the previous state administration was alleged to have violated."What action did I fail to take?
What provision of the Negeri Sembilan Constitution 1959 was breached, and when did the alleged breach occur?" he said."If there was a mistake, state what the mistake was. If there was a breach of the law, state the provision. In a matter of this magnitude, the people deserve clear and verifiable facts."Aminuddin also said he was prepared to be questioned about the matter, adding that his actions and decisions as menteri besar could be evaluated against the available records and documents.Due processHe also raised the issue of a proclamation dated April 19, saying it was presented to him for signing on April 20 while he was still menteri besar.Aminuddin said the document was presented with reference to the process under Article 10 of the state constitution, but he decided not to sign it because of serious questions surrounding the process.Article 10 of the state constitution governs the specific circumstances and procedures under which the Undang Yang Empat – the four ruling chieftains – may temporarily suspend or permanently remove the Yang Dipertuan Besar from the throne.Aminuddin said Article 10 did not merely concern the powers relating to the position of the Yang Dipertuan Besar, but also prescribed a process that had to be fulfilled, including matters relating to a full and complete inquiry.He said there was also a dispute at the time over the position of one of the parties involved as the undang of Sungei Ujong."Ismail, as someone with a legal background, is certainly very familiar with the word ‘process’.
Or was it flawed from the very beginn…
