Lawyer disputes Ismail’s claim proclamation signed under duress
Lawyer acting for disputed chieftains says the Negeri Sembilan MB's claim that he was forced to sign the document was an afterthought.
A lawyer representing four purported Negeri Sembilan chieftains has challenged Ismail Lasim's assertion that he signed a proclamation seeking to remove Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir under duress. Khairul Azam Abdul Aziz claimed Ismail's claim of duress being a last resort was merely an excuse, as there was no coercion involved. Ismail signed the proclamation on August 3, stating he was acting voluntarily and without coercion, accompanied by his lawyer Abu Bakar Isa Ramat.
