  "account": "The Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, will skip the upcoming Conference of Rulers meeting, contrary to previous reports suggesting he had received an invitation. Comptroller of the Negeri Sembilan Royal Household Azizi Mohamad Ali confirmed that Tuanku Muhriz did not receive an official invitation and stated that he voluntarily decided not to attend the gathering. He expressed a desire to focus on local issues, specifically the undang of Luak Jelebu matter. The Straits Times previously reported that Tuanku Muhriz had been invited to the Conference of Rulers meeting, which was interpreted as recognition by the Malay rulers of his position as the rightful ruler of Negeri Sembilan amid a royal crisis. Perak's Sultan Nazrin Shah, who chaired the meeting from Oct 1 to Oct 15, had invited Tuanku Muhriz to participate. The royal crisis in Negeri Sembilan began in April when four purported undangs removed Tuanku Muhriz, with Tunku Nadzaruddin being proclaimed the new Yang Dipertuan Besar in June at a hotel in Melaka.",
