Youth Calls for Hasan's Dismissal

The DAP Youth has publicly urged the Prime Minister to dismiss Foreign Minister Mat Hasan after the latter’s involvement in the Negeri Sembilan turmoil. Hasan, who is among 14 BN MPs that withdrew their backing for the state’s Menteri Besar, is seen as a key trigger of the political deadlock. The youth wing argues his continued presence undermines federal‑state relations and fuels instability. By targeting a senior cabinet member, DAP Youth hopes to pressure the government into restoring confidence and re‑establishing a functional majority in the state assembly. The call also highlights growing intra‑coalition tensions ahead of the next election cycle.

The demand could force a cabinet reshuffle, affect federal‑state dynamics and influence voter sentiment ahead of upcoming elections.

The crisis in Negeri Sembilan exposes fractures within the ruling coalition, as BN MPs turn against their own state leader. It raises questions about the Prime Minister’s grip on the coalition and could set a precedent for handling dissent, with potential ripple effects on national stability and future electoral battles.
