  "account": "Negri Sembilan's former Chief Minister Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun has expressed shock at 10 former state executive councillors suing their own government, branding it as the government suing itself. Aminuddin, who governed the state for two terms, stated that such an unprecedented situation had never transpired in Malaysia's history. He was dismayed upon learning that the exco members sought financial compensation from the government for an issue they believed should have been resolved earlier.\n\nThe Port Dickson MP speculated that the legal action might have been advised by external parties, but the consequences have been detrimental to Negri Sembilan and its people. In a Facebook video, Aminuddin emphasized that all parties, including Pakatan Harapan and Bersatu, had accepted the outcome of the state elections. Under Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional's two-thirds majority, the new government should be allowed to function smoothly and foster development for the state and its residents.\n\nHowever, Aminuddin lamented that the crisis had persisted into October, with the ongoing legal disputes ultimately harming Negri Sembilan.",
