  "account": "Negri Sembilan's Umno liaison committee chairman, Datuk Seri Jalaluddin Alias, has firmly denied allegations that he plans to replace Datuk Ismail Lasim as the state's chief minister. The Pertang assemblyman stated that there are no plans to table a motion of no confidence against Ismail at the upcoming state assembly meeting. Jalaluddin emphasized that the claims are false and have been intentionally spread by certain individuals to create division among the leaders. He reiterated that he has never made any statement suggesting his intent to oust Ismail as menteri besar. Jalaluddin confirmed that his role is to maintain political stability in the state, while Ismail's responsibility is to continue governing the state. Both leaders emphasized that there are no camps or divisions within the Barisan Nasional (BN) party, and they are focused on their duties and responsibilities as per the mandate given by the people during the August 1st state election.",
