Negeri Sembilan's Chief Minister, Datuk Ismail Lasim, remained evasive when questioned about a police report alleging he was coerced into signing a proclamation regarding Tuanku Muhriz's position, stating the matter has been "overtaken by events". At a press conference in Seremban, Ismail refused to provide any additional details on the investigation's progress, asserting he had no further comments on the matter.
He reiterated that the signing was done under duress and against his will, subsequently filing a police report on September 8 to initiate an official inquiry into the alleged coercion. The Home Minister, Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, confirmed on September 15 that police had received two separate reports about the forced signing and were currently assessing the case to determine its scope and focus.
