  "account": "Analyst Azmi Hassan contends that Negeri Sembilan Chief Minister Ismail Lasim should retain his position as the state's menteri besar, despite several controversial actions, even if he is not widely known at the national level. The controversy arose after Ismail signed a proclamation calling for Tuanku Muhriz to be removed from power, leading a group of former senior Umno officials to urge him to resign. While Indera Azmi noted that Ismail's political base remains strong, particularly in Kuala Pilah, political analyst Mazlan Ali cautioned that Umno will face difficulties in finding a replacement.",
  "summary": "Azmi Hassan dan Mazlan Ali berkata walaupun menteri besar Negeri Sembilan itu melakukan beberapa kesilapan, Umno mungkin berdepan kesukaran jika mahu menggantikannya ketika ini.",
