  "account": "The Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) has ordered police to conduct further investigations into allegations surrounding Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim, according to a report on November 3, 2026. The AGC returned investigation papers submitted by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) last week, stating that additional investigative steps were required before a decision could be made.\n\nThe investigation, opened under Section 506 of the Penal Code, concerns allegations that Ismail Lasim signed a proclamation related to the position of the Negeri Sembilan Yang di-Pertuan Besar while under undue influence. Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar clarified that the police inquiry papers were referred to the AGC on September 29 and returned to PDRM with instructions on October 7.\n\nNegeri Sembilan MP Cha Kee Chin had questioned the time taken by the AGC to decide on the investigation, expressing concern that residents of Negeri Sembilan were still awaiting developments despite the police having submitted the papers. The AGC emphasized that there had been no delay in reviewing the case, and the investigation papers would be returned to the PDRM for further action.",
