#KiniNews: New N Sembilan excos? MB responds; Guan Eng tells Anwar to ensure ‘last budget’ counts

KiniNews is now also available on Spotify and Apple podcasts. [KiniNews] Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Ismail Lasim has chosen to prioritise resolving the appointment of village chiefs and Village Development and Security Committees (JPKK) over addressing the controversial exco crisis. He said the state administration was still running smoothly despite the absence of the 10 exco members whose appointments were revoked by the Yang di-Pertuan Besar. "The JPKK, as we are well aware, plays a vital role for the grassroots because the people rely on the JPKK for various forms of assistance," he said. Meanwhile, in a separate story, Bagan MP Lim Guan Eng has made a last-minute appeal to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to deliver meaningful tax relief in Budget 2027, calling it the government’s final opportunity for voters to feel its benefits before the next general election. The former finance minister’s appeal comes ahead of Anwar tabling Budget 2027 in the Dewan Rakyat tomorrow. ___________________ Support independent media, subscribe to Malaysiakini.com - https://membership.malaysiakini.com/m...
