  "account": "Yesterday, Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Ismail Lasim revealed that only one former Pakatan Harapan (PH) state assemblyman, Aminuddin Harun, has fully returned the allocations he received. The allocations were disbursed on June 5, just before the state assembly was dissolved. Ismail stated that several former PH assemblymen, including the coordinators for the Paroi and Labu constituencies, had begun returning allocations from June 30 but had not yet repaid the full amount. He emphasized that the allocations given to Aminuddin were estimated and that some recipients might have already used the funds for public welfare and other purposes. Ismail's office is now reviewing the records of the allocations given to each former PH assemblyman to determine the outstanding amount, as the sums disbursed varied between constituencies. A total of 17 PH assemblymen and two constituency coordinators were ordered to return allocations from July to September, with the amounts ranging from RM174,000 to RM150,000 each.",
