KUALA LUMPUR, May 7 — Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has clarified that the party is not outright rejecting Negeri Sembilan MB Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun, but instead withholding support over concerns related to alleged interference in Negeri Sembilan’s customary laws.
Zahid said the position was not limited to Umno Negeri Sembilan alone, but also reflected the party’s broader stance.
“We are not rejecting him, but we are not supporting him as long as he is interfering in Negeri Sembilan’s adat laws,” he told reporters after officiating the National Social Policy Action Plan 2026-2030 here today.
“We also want matters concerning the traditional rulers of Negeri Sembilan, namely the Yang di-Pertuan to be respected, and for those issues to be resolved by the relevant parties themselves,” he added.
This comes after Umno Negeri Sembilan issued a statement expressing support for the unity government while at the same time rejecting Aminuddin.
