  "account": "The Chief Minister of Negeri Sembilan, Ismail Lasim, announced that a notice was sent to 17 members of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) party and two DUN (Dewan Undangan Negeri) organizers, requesting them to return the remaining allocations they received from the previous administration within a 30-day period or face further consequences. This information was relayed by Sinar Harian. The Chief Minister stated that they were given a 30-day window to reimburse the state government. Should they fail to explain the remaining allocation within the given timeframe, subsequent actions will be taken, as reported during a press briefing after the exco meeting in Seremban. According to him, only former Chief Minister Aminuddin Harun has returned the allocated funds. The RM180,000 dispute, which was claimed to have been diverted to PH representatives, was raised during the First Session of the Negeri Sembilan High Court on August 18, following the dissolution of the state assembly on June 5. This issue arose from the financial assistance grant of RM180,000 given to PH representatives from July to September, dated June 4, during the PRN Negeri Sembilan 16 election campaign. The Chief Minister previously stated that 17 PH representatives and two DUN organizers under the previous Negeri Sembilan government need to return the allocations they received for July to September following the dissolution of the DUN. In other words, each former exco must return RM150,000 for the August and September allocation, while 10 PH representatives and two DUN organizers from Labu and Paroi need to return allocations for July to September, each amounting to RM174,000 and RM150,000, respectively. MP Nilai J Arul Kumar subsequently urged the state government to reconsider the instructions as some of the representatives had used part of the funds for the welfare of the people, and some had even used the full amount. He noted it would be difficult to return the funds due to the large sums, as they were allocated on a yearly basis rather than monthly.",
