  "account": "Negri Sembilan's Yang di-Pertuan Besar, Tuanku Muhriz, has opted not to attend the Conference of Rulers meeting, prioritizing state affairs, especially the proclamation ceremony for the Undang of Jelebu. Datuk Azizi Mohamad Ali, Negri Sembilan's Royal Comptroller, clarified that participation in the Conference of Rulers, set for October 13 to 15, does not necessitate an invitation. The statement aims to dispel media reports claiming Tuanku Muhriz received an invitation, asserting that no invitation is required to attend the event. Additionally, he stated that Tuanku Muhriz did not receive any letter or invitation from the Perak Sultan, who chairs the pre-Conference of Rulers meeting. Istana Negri Sembilan had not previously made any statements on the matter to any party or media organization.",
