Zahid, Ismail bertemu berhubung dakwaan dipaksa tandatangan dokumen

The President of Umno, Zahid Hamidi, and the Chief Minister of Negeri Sembilan, Ismail Lasim, met in the evening yesterday to discuss allegations that Ismail had been coerced into signing a document to lower Tuanku Muhriz, the Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, to the position. The meeting took place at the Kuala Lumpur World Trade Centre, adjacent to the Umno 2026 Grand Conference, and was also attended by Umno Vice President Johari Ghani, Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail, and Khaled Nordin.

Earlier, Zahid clarified that he wished to inquire about the background of Ismail's statement. The previous day, several individuals, including Undang Luak Johol Muhammed Abdullah, claimed during a media briefing that Ismail had signed the proclamation document to remove Tuanku Muhriz. They alleged that Ismail signed and completed the proclamation letter under Section 10(2) of the State Government Corporation Act 1976 dated August 3rd.

However, Ismail denied today that he was forced to sign the proclamation document and a police report was filed yesterday.
