  "account": "Negri Sembilan's Chief Minister Ismail Lasim was uncooperative regarding an alleged proclamation document aimed at removing the state ruler, Tuanku Muhriz. He also refused to discuss the outcome of his meeting with Umno president Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and three vice-presidents on Thursday. Ismail simply smiled and left for his official vehicle after inaugurating the Negri Sembilan Community Programme at his residence today. The meeting occurred at 4pm during the 2026 UMNO General Assembly at the World Trade Centre in Kuala Lumpur. It followed Zahid's earlier call for clarification from Ismail over claims that he had been coerced into signing a proclamation to remove Tuanku Muhriz from power at Istana Laguna Biru in Port Dickson on August 3.",
  "summary": "SEREMBAN: Negri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim remained tight-lipped over an alleged proclamation seeking the removal of state ruler Yang di-Pertuan Besar Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir.",
