Tuanku Muhriz reminds elected reps to fulfill trust with integrity
KUALA PILAH, May 12 (Bernama) -- The Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir today reminded the representatives elected by the people in the 14th General Election on Wednesday to fulfill the trust placed in them by the people with full integrity.
He said the trust should not be abused to achieve personal agenda.
"Your focus and priority should be given to serving and protecting the interests of the people in the state. You must place loyalty to the state and the country above loyalty to any political party."
"Besides, you must also discharge your duties to serve the people regardless of their political belief, race and religion. The country is in need of leaders with high level of integrity and dignity and also persons of honour. Abusing your power and your position will only lead to injustice and fragility in the implementation of policies that have been drawn up for the people's benefit."
Tuanku Muhriz said this at the ceremony to confer the instrument of appointment and swear Negeri Sembilan Pakatan Harapan chairman Aminuddin Harun in as the new Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar at Istana Besar Seri Menanti here today.
Present were the Tunku Ampuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan Tuanku Aishah Rohani Tengku Besar Mahmud, the Putera Yang Empat Tunku Besar Seri Menanti Tunku Ali Redhauddin Ibni Tuanku Muhriz and Tunku Panglima Besar Tunku Nadzaruddin ibni Almarhum Tuanku Jaafar.
Undang Luak Johol Datuk Johan Pahlawan Lela Perkasa Setiawan Datuk Muhammed Abdullah, the Undang Luak Sungai Ujong Datuk Klana Petra Datuk Mubarak Dohak and the Undang Luak Rembau Datuk Lela Maharaja Datuk Muhamad Sharip Othman also attended the ceremony.
Meanwhile, Tuanku Muhriz also said he placed his trust in the ability of the new Menteri Besar and reminded him to carry out his duties earnestly and honestly.
"The trust given should be carried out with full integrity so that all the people can enjoy and experience the development of this lucky state. I want to see that my state is administered with transparency and accountability."
"Strengthen the unity and harmony among the people of all races in this beloved state," said Tuanku Muhriz.
He also reminded all the elected representatives to always work together, maintain good conduct and take part in the state assembly sitting.
