AGC orders further police action in probe into claims Negeri Sembilan MB was forced to sign proclamation

The Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) has forwarded investigation papers related to allegations that Negeri Sembilan's Chief Minister, Datuk Ismail Lasim, was coerced into signing a proclamation, to the police for further investigation. In a statement issued today, the AGC announced that it had examined the investigation papers submitted by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) on October 30 regarding the matter.

According to the AGC, an investigation was launched under Section 506 of the Penal Code after Ismail claimed he had signed a proclamation concerning alterations to the Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan's position due to undue influence. Following a thorough examination, the AGC determined that the investigating officer required to take additional steps before a final decision could be made.

Consequently, the investigation papers will be returned to the PDRM today for further action. Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar had previously denied any delay in the AGC's review of investigation papers pertaining to a report involving Ismail.
