  "summary": "Negri Sembilan's Menteri Besar, Datuk Ismail Lasim, is seeking a meeting with the state's Yang di-Pertuan Besar, Tuanku Muhriz, ahead of the upcoming state assembly sitting. The government plans to hold the assembly sitting on November 26 and table the 2027 state budget on November 27. However, Ismail has not yet received consent for the meeting with Tuanku Muhriz, and is working to secure a suitable date and time. The state government is sticking to its original plan for the assembly sitting, and the matter of the assembly's dissolution in February 2027, if the sitting is not held, will be examined according to the state constitution. Various parties have raised concerns about the assembly's dissolution, but Ismail is focused on resolving the proclamation issue with the Yang di-Pertuan Besar to ensure the sitting can proceed and the state budget can be tabled.",
