PETALING JAYA:

 Police will close several roads in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan, tomorrow evening ahead of a mega Pakatan Harapan ceramah held at Stadium Tuanku Abdul Rahman in Paroi.

Seremban police chief Azahar Abdul Rahim said the closures are to ensure the event runs smoothly as it takes place at the stadium’s parking area.

“Road closures will be carried out tomorrow from 7pm until the event ends,” he said in a statement.

The affected routes are Jalan Kedidi in Taman Paroi Jaya, as well as Lorong Kedidi 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7.

Azahar advised road users to use Jalan Persiaran Merak and Jalan Tok Dagang as alternative routes, especially residents who live at Lorong Kedidi 1 to Lorong Kedidi 7.

The ceramah, expected to begin at 8pm, is being held amid a political crisis in Negeri Sembilan following the withdrawal of support for menteri besar Aminuddin Harun by 14 Barisan Nasional assemblymen.

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, who is also PH chairman, is expected to take the stage at the ceramah, joined by other top leaders, including DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook, Amanah president Mohamad Sabu, PH secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail and DAP chairman Gobind Singh Deo.

Aminuddin, a PKR vice-president, continues to lead a minority government backed by 17 PH assemblymen.

Negeri Sembilan BN initially claimed to have the numbers to form a new state government, but coalition chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said it has never discussed unseating Aminuddin.

Zahid also said BN lynchpin Umno had no intention of joining the opposition, as suggested by state Umno chief Jalaluddin Alias.  - FMT
