  "account": "Negeri Sembilan’s Deputy Chief Minister, Datuk Ismail Lasim, has reaffirmed the state government's unwavering support and loyalty to the ruler of Negeri Sembilan, Tuanku Muhriz ibni Almarhum Tuanku Munawir, in response to claims by the state's four Undang that they had signed a proclamation seeking his removal. In a statement released today, Ismail acknowledged the media statement issued by the four Undang on September 5. He emphasized that the views expressed by the four Undang were their personal right and that his focus was to perform his duties as the Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar in the best interests of the people and the state. This statement came after a letter and an announcement were made public regarding a purported proclamation under Article 10 of the Constitution of the State of Negeri Sembilan 1959. According to the Undang Yang Empat, they signed the proclamation on April 19, 2026, declaring Tuanku Muhriz's removal from the throne. The four Undang are traditional rulers who play a significant role in the selection of the Yang di-Pertuan Besar Negeri Sembilan. Despite these claims, Ismail reiterated that the state government remained fully supportive and loyal to Tuanku Muhriz as the ruler of Negeri Sembilan.",
