In a statement issued today, the AGC announced that it had examined the investigation papers submitted by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) on October 30 regarding the matter. According to the AGC, an investigation was launched under Section 506 of the Penal Code after Ismail claimed he had signed a proclamation concerning alterations to the Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan's position due to undue influence. Following a thorough examination, the AGC determined that the investigating officer required to take additional steps before a final decision could be made. Consequently, the investigation papers will be returned to the PDRM today for further action.
