Negeri Sembilan MB filed 2 police reports, says home minister

Negeri Sembilan's chief minister, Ismail Lasim, has filed two police reports regarding a proclamation seeking to remove the state's ruler, according to Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail. The reports were filed after Ismail claimed he was coerced into signing the document.

At a press conference in Port Dickson, Saifuddin stated that police investigations were initiated following the reports but did not provide further details. Ismail emphasized that it was premature to comment on the matter and urged the police to determine the appropriate course of action. He did not want to interfere with the ongoing investigations.

Previously, four individuals claiming to be undangs presented a document purportedly containing a proclamation to remove Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir as the Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan. The document, dated August 3rd, allegedly bore signatures from Ismail and the four individuals, whose positions are disputed. However, Ismail asserted that he was compelled to sign the proclamation and subsequently reported the incident to the police for investigation.

The Umno leader, who assumed office as chief minister on August 2nd, added that the document was invalid as it did not adhere to the procedures outlined in Article 10 of the Laws of the Constitution of Negeri Sembilan 1959.
