Tengku Zafrul asks N. Sembilan MB to name who allegedly forced him to sign proclamation

Negeri Sembilan's Chief Minister Ismail Lasim has been asked by Tengku Zafrul to disclose the identity of the individual or individuals who allegedly compelled him to sign the Instrument of Proclamation concerning the position of Yang Dipertuan Besar Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir on August 3. Despite Ismail's seven-page statement, Tengku Zafrul maintains that the question has gone unanswered.

The Prime Minister's Senior Political Advisor posed the question on social media, demanding clarification on whether Ismail was indeed forced to sign the proclamation and, if so, who the perpetrator was. Ismail maintained that the government did not decide who ascends or abdicates the throne, but Tengku Zafrul questioned the sudden change in stance and the validity of the proclamation.
