  "account": "Negeri Sembilan's Yang Dipertuan Besar, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, publicly rebuked his state's chief minister, Ismail Lasim, during a recent encounter. The dispute stems from the ongoing constitutional crisis in the state. In a series of videos shared on social media, Tuanku Muhriz can be heard confronting a group of individuals, questioning Ismail's intentions for meeting him. He stated, \"Don’t see me, I don’t want to see you. You understand? I am the Yang Dipertuan Besar but you said I am not.\" Ismail countered with the traditional \"angkat sembah\" gesture, a customary way of greeting royalty. The incident occurred amid the constitutional crisis in Negeri Sembilan, which has been ongoing since April, when four individuals claiming to be undangs (chieftains) alleged the removal of Tuanku Muhriz as the state's ruler. Ismail endorsed a statement from his executive council, purportedly affirming Tuanku Muhriz's removal as Yang Dipertuan Besar, leading Tuanku Muhriz to revoke the appointments of the entire state executive council.",
  "summary": "The Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan says Ismail Lasim had written a letter to the Keeper of the Rulers’ Seal, informing them he was no longer the state's ruler.",
