  "summary": "Ten Negeri Sembilan state executive councillors (excos) have filed a lawsuit in the High Court to contest the revocation of their appointments, which was gazetted on September 24. The excos argue that the revocation, carried out by Negeri Sembilan's Yang di-Pertuan Besar Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, is invalid as it does not adhere to the state constitution's requirements. They claim that the Ruler cannot revoke an exco's appointment unilaterally without the Menteri Besar's advice. The lawyers representing the excos have also requested the court to declare the revocation null, void, and ineffective, and to expedite the hearing process. The excos are seeking compensation for potential damages resulting from the revocation.",
