  "summary": "Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim has withdrawn a letter previously sent to the Keeper of the Rulers' Seal, Tan Sri Syed Danial Syed Ahmad, affirming his support for Tuanku Muhriz as the Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan. The letter, which was circulated on November 10, stated that Ismail and 10 State Executive Council (EXCO) members (whose appointments had been revoked) were withdrawing an earlier letter to the Malay Rulers dated September 17. This decision was made after considering a media statement by the Malay Rulers dated October 14 and a Seremban High Court order dated June 5, which maintained the status quo of the Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, Tuanku Muhriz. The withdrawal of the letter also affects the State Legislative Assembly (DUN) session and the tabling of the 2027 Negeri Sembilan State Budget, which are still awaiting the royal assent of Tuanku Muhriz.",
