Negeri Sembilan MB coy over coerced signing allegation, claims ‘overtaken by events’

Negeri Sembilan's Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim evaded questions regarding allegations that he was coerced into signing a proclamation related to Yang di-Pertuan Besar Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir. He stated that the matter has been "overtaken by events" and would not provide further details on the status of his police report.

Ismail had previously admitted to signing the controversial proclamation under duress, but would not comment further. He filed a police report on September 8 following confirmation from Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail that two separate reports had been received regarding the alleged forced signing, with the case currently being classified to determine the appropriate investigation approach.
